No. As others have said earlier this month each entry in hosts.cfg is  
not necessarily a real host, but is actually used as a container for  
specific service checks. Nagios cannot automatically generate these  
hosts, based on an address range. Mostly because the "address" does  
not necessarily need to be a real IP address.

The host is one of the basic building blocks of Nagios.

Cheers,


Thomas
