Yes. You need to first use HOSTALIAS to group them into something that looks
like a hostname. Then HOSTOUTPUTALIAS (and DOMOUTPUTALIAS) to translate them
in the reports. Something like this:
HOSTALIAS public*.library.nwu.edu publicworkstations.library.nwu.edu
HOSTOUTPUTALIAS publicworkstations.library.nwu.edu "(Public Workstations)"
