You're correct: BOINC doesn't know about wildcards. If there is a small enough range of IP addresses, you could just list all the possibilities in the remote_hosts.cfg file, one per line.
Also, you can put either IP addresses or host names in this file. If you have a list of the possible host names, that should work also. BOINC will then call gethostbyname() for each one to resolve the host name to an IP address.
