Michael,

Regular expressions to match host names are not easy.  This page offers 
some suggestions: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/106179/regular-expression-to-match-hostname-or-ip-address

I'd split the list into individual names and validate each separately so 
you tell the user which one is malformed.

Good luck!

Eric
