as describen in the manual
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en you use fingerprints
or nicknames. fingerprints are preferred I guess. the format is $fingerpint

You can just maintain one list of all your relays and put the same line
in every torrc. Doesn't matter if the relay itself is in it.
