Seems as if it is not clear, which flavor of Regex is suported in Nagios, 
I had a similar problem, and could not find a clear documentation about 
the regex-suport in Nagios yet.

F.e. 
[sw][0-9]{3}[a-z]{2,124}\.company\.net 
This should match any string starting with either s or w, followed by 
exactly 3 digits and a resonable number of characters plus the domain 
suffix. 
But it did not work. May be I am missing some backslashes?

Please, can anyone point us to the right place?

TIA, Ingo.
