What did you do with those host macros? I mean at this point I guess it sounds like your problem is resolved so I guess it doesn't really matter. I just feel like all along I've totally misunderstood the actual problem and maybe if I knew why you cared to store those addresses in macros I'd perhaps understand what you were trying to do that I was totally misunderstanding.

$HOSTADDRESS$ is a construct indicating how Nagios is intended to communicate with the monitored device, nothing else. It sounds like you needed a different sort of macro for a different reason. All that said, hackish and not so elegant is often the only answer, and who cares if it works?
