You could use nagiosmap which will give you the ability to drag the
hosts around the screen to set the coordinates.  Have a look on
http://nagiosexchange.org .  Without this, 350 hosts is stretching the
abilities of the standard status map somewhat, imo.  Admittedly I've
never tried nagiosmap myself because ...

An alternative status map visualisation tool which is much better
suited to hundreds of hosts is nexsm.
http://nexsm.gridshield.net/Overview.html  It can be a little tricky
to set up so be prepared to look through the forum discussion on
sourceforge and the email archive here to see what some of the common
issues are.

Either way, you really will benefit from setting the parent
relationships, not only for visualisation but for helping Nagios to
send you only appropriate alerts too.

hth,

Jim
