If the number of components of the domain name is constant (e.g. always
4), you can do it with
${sg{some.sample.host.name}{\N([^.]+)\.([^.]+)\.([^.]+)\.([^.]+)\.?\N}{\$4.\$3.\$2.\$1}}.
At least I don't know how else one could do that with regex, but I'm no
expert for that.

If you want to do it for any domain name I think you have to run some
external script, like Tony already wrote.
