compact definition of multiple hosts or service groups?

[Justin T Pryzby]

Hi Everyone,

I was never able to resolve this question I initially asked some 18
months ago.

Is there any way to define multiple hosts in a single stanza?

I currently have a 600 line long file with handsful of 50+ definitions
like:

define host {
	use		host0
	host_name	x
	parents		y
}

It seems to me, that it "should" be allowed to define all the hosts
with the same parent (etc) in one stanza, rather than having 10
stanzas for that.  That would reduce duplicated information, make the
config file 5x shorter and comparably more maintainable.  Is there
really no implemented mechanism to defining multiple hosts having
identical information without using a separate stanza for each?

Thanks,
Justin
