You can set up directly the style hosts:

zstyle ':completion:*:*:*' hosts foo bar

or use something like what I have in my .zshrc:

[ -f ~/.ssh/config ] && : ${(A)ssh_config_hosts:=${${${${(@M)${(f)"$(<~/.ssh/config)"}:#Host *}#Host }:#*\**}:#*\?*}}
[ -f ~/.ssh/known_hosts ] && : ${(A)ssh_known_hosts:=${${${(f)"$(<$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts)"}%%\ *}%%,*}}
zstyle ':completion:*:*:*' hosts $ssh_config_hosts $ssh_known_hosts

Remove $ssh_known_hosts if you do not want to add the content of
.ssh/known_hosts
