Regular Expression Expansion

[John A. Sullivan III]

Hello, all.  I'm still struggling a bit with regular expression
expansion in Nagios 2.0.  Here is a snippet from a config file I have
been playing with:

define servicedependency{
        dependent_host_name             HammondSGGW.niag
dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-Chattanooga$, ^Tun.*-Midlothian$
#dependent_service_description   ^Tun.*-(?:Chattanooga|Midlothian)$
        host_name                       BuffaloSGGW.niag
        service_description             Niagara_SSH
        execution_failure_criteria      c
}

The commented line generates errors on pre-flight check.  It's almost as
if it cannot handle the alternation (|).  Have I mangled the regular
expression or is this a peculiarity of Nagios? Thanks - John
