It might help to know how/why you want to distinguish the hosts if
they're essentially the same.

It's also possible to set orderings for hosts, possibly as groups, if
that's useful.

-mc doesn't actually take an argument, but that's the first step.

I'd use

  qconf -mattr exechost complex_values <complex>=<value> <host>...

to set it (with host possibly generated by a shell expansion of some
sort).
