Then the Regexp matching is the problem. If you don't need that, you can =
just turn it off. Otherwise the host name must be unique.=20
I never used regexp matching in Nagios but with =
use_true_regexp_matching=3D1 you should normally be able to achieve what =
you want by using:
host_name ^router_$
The ? and $ will match start and end of line respectively so it won't =
match any other host having the string "router_" as part of it (So when =
you define router_2 it won't detect a duplicate service).
