Escalations for multiple service

[Russell Scibetti]

I have a Nagios instance with about 40 services and 1 host.  This is an 
instance that goes and talks to a couple of other Nagios instances, 
groups things together into common categories, and does paging. 
 However, of these 40 services, we have about 4 different escalations 
that are used.  These escalations all have about 5-6 steps in them (a 
step being a point where the notification group changes).

My question is, is there a way to put multiple service descriptions on 
the service_description line of an escalation definition?  I know you 
can put *, which worked when all 40 services had the same escalation. 
 With 6 steps, this was only 6 escalation definitions, very managable. 
 If I can put multiple service descriptions on one line, this will be 4 
x 6 = 24 definitions, still managable.  But if I can't do that, this is 
now going to be 40 x 6 = 240 escalation definitions.

So, is this possible, or if not, can it be made possible.  To me, it 
definitely seems worthwhile having.
