Negating regular expression matching a host_name

[Oscar Elfving]

Sure, I use it to put the hosts in different host groups and so
forth... the problem is just when I want to use the exclamation mark
to exclude hosts AND use regular expressions to match the hosts. If I
write the full hostnames there is no problem.

Best regards,
Oscar Elfving
