Apparently wilcards for the names of services can be used [1] although I
am not sure if also it is possible to be done for the hostnames. Will
wildcards (or .*) be valid with Nagios 3.0.6?

These are the definitions that I was thinking to use:

define hostescalation{
  host_name                     *
  first_notification            1
  last_notification             3
  escalation_period             none
  notification_interval         60
  contact_groups                admins
}

define hostescalation{
  host_name                     *
  first_notification            4
  last_notification             0
  escalation_period             none
  notification_interval         60
  contact_groups                admins
}

define serviceescalation{
  hostgroup_name
linux-servers,solaris-servers,windows-servers
  service_description           *
  first_notification            1
  last_notification             3
  notification_interval         60
  contact_groups                admins
}

define serviceescalation{
  hostgroup_name
linux-servers,solaris-servers,windows-servers
  service_description           *
  first_notification            4
  last_notification             0
  escalation_period             none
  notification_interval         60
  contact_groups                admins
}
