Multiple hostnames in host_name

[John Daily]

There's another, arguably better way to do it under Nagios 2.x.

Use hostgroups.  Specify the service as applying to all hosts in a hostgroup, then add each new host to the appropriate group(s).

yes, the service definitions can definitely take a list like

host_name   host1,host2,host3...

Not sure about the macros, check the docs that come with nagios since 
they do mention quite a bit about this. It is likely you can define your 
own $MACROS$ as you want and have all the services update just be 
restarting the daemon.

-h
