wild cards with exceptions?

[dave stern - e-mail.pluribus.unum]

I'm trying to streamline my nagios config using wildcards.
Unfortunately, not all services I wish to define via wildcard
follows a clean set of rules. Is it possible to define a service
with a host list of something like *,!linux1, !linux2

I suspect the answer is no and what I'd need to do is use
a combination of hostgroups and hosts eg
define service {
hostgroup  unix, ultrix, sco
service_description ....
}
define service {
host_name host1, host2, host3, host4
...
}

Anyone find a way around this?
TIA
