That's probably a no go, i.e. heartbeat needs different hostnames. Perhaps you could put your services in a chroot environment and set the hostname there dymanically before the service starts. Maybe you could even try to full heartbeat by setting the hostname after the heartbeat started, but I'm really not sure if that's going to work.
