You can assign to env.hoststring before executing a subtask. Assign to this global variable in a loop if you want to iterate over multiple hosts.

Unfortunately for you and me, fabric is not designed for this use case. Check out the main function at http://github.com/bitprophet/fabric/blob/master/fabric/main.py to see how it works.
