Umm...sorry seems you were right (I don't know why I had the impression 
that I was already using regexps somewhere in the config).

I have in nagios.cfg the

use_regexp_matching=1

but it doesn't seem to function in any of the possible places where the "*" character could be used.

Any idea why ?
Should I try using the ePN (embedded perl) to see if things change and regexp start working ? (but that would cause some script rewriting unfortunately)
