The original URL will still work. When you use the rule that I posted, http://www.example.com/news/?id=123 will work in addition to http://www.example.com/news/123

This is little more than an edited copy/paste:
RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ news_story_display.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]'

I blagged it from Drupal (as it's ReWrite malarkey is pretty similar to what you're doing). Give it a try; not sure about the QSA rule at the end, according to the Apache docs:

Apache docs wrote: 'qsappend|QSA' (query string append)
This flag forces the rewriting engine to append a query string part in the substitution string to the existing one instead of replacing it. Use this when you want to add more data to the query string via a rewrite rule.

*** EDIT ***
Is that 404 page your doing, or the hosts?

Nope, I implemented that and there is no difference in the URL, they are still like...

This should do it:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^news/([0-9]+)$ news/?id=$1 [L]
