I would suggest you approach the problem this way:
bundle common hostinfo {

"ip" string => "192.168.1.2";
srv1::
"ip" string => "192.168.1.3";
}
bundle agent test
{

"ok" expression => "any";

This seems like an awful lot of work to get the long/short hostname. What
about:
classes:

"short_host");
After this, you have the short hostname in $(short_host[1]), and the long one
has always been available as $(sys.fqhost)
