Large hostgroups?

[Dr John Hearns]

I'm trying to configure Nagios to monitor a large cluster of
Linux machines.

I've made a little script which will add a host definition for
each node to the hosts.cfg file (there may be hundreds of nodes).

I create a hostgroup called nodes:

define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name  nodes
alias           Compute Nodes
contact_groups  cluster-admins
members          node01 node02 node03 node04 node05 node06 node07 node08
node09 node10
}

The problem is that I can't get all the nodes in the members.
nagios -v returns:
Error: Host name 'node01 node02 node03 node04 node05 node06 node07
node08 node09 node10' for service 'SENSORS-NODES' exceeds maximum length
of 63 characters

Help! 
Is there an elegant way to get 100's of nodes in the members,
without having a huge long string?
