Thanks Marc,
This did the trick. I was able to clean up my config files considerably
using the templates.

No you can't. A suitable alternative for you might be using the
"hostgroups" directive in each of your host definitions.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#host
You could even simplify that further by using a per-file template.
Presuming you already have a generic global host template defined you
could do the following in etc/servers/sunservers.cfg -
define host {
use generic-host
name sunservers
hostgroups sunservers
register 0
}
define host{
use sunservers
host_name Sun_Host_1
alias This is my Sun Host.
address 127.0.0.1
}
define host{
use sunservers
host_name Sun_Host_2
alias This is my Second Sun Host.
address 127.0.0.2
}
I haven't actually done this myself but I expect the template
inheritance to allow it.
