I tihink you need to do this the other way around. Use 1 service type and
add multiple hosts to it. Like:

define service{
        use                             linux-counter-template
        host_name                       aleph.counter.li.org,beth.counter.li.org
        service_description             DNS
        check_command                   check_dig!1!6!counter.li.org
        contact_groups                  linux-counter
        }

Hugo.
