HELP!!!!

I a trying to convert the following "static" ada data
structure to a structure that can be created dynamically,
ie via the "new" ada function, and setting the two
constrants at that time.

I can not seem to find anything that will work (as
far as type declarations) short of
moving the second level array (Host_array) into
the top level structure (system_config_type) and
making it 2d.  That is TOO ugly!!!!

Can one of you ada guru's help me out?
the current type definitions (ie the "static"
version) are below....

thanks!!!!

NUMBER_OF_HOST_WIDGETS : Integer := some bound;
NUMBER_OF_NODE_WIDGETS : Integer := some other bound;


 type Host_Config_Typ is
    record
      ID        : Integer;
      Label     : String;
    end record;

  type Host_Array is array (natural range <>) of Host_Config_Typ;

  type Node_Config_Typ is
    record
      ID              : integer;
      Label           : String;
      Number_of_hosts : Natural := 0;
      Hosts           : Host_Array(1..NUMBER_OF_HOSTS_WIDGETS);
    end record;

  type Node_Array is array (natural rangee <>) of Node_Config_Typ;

  type System_Config_Typ is
    record
      Number_of_nodes :  Natural := 0;
      Nodes : Node_Array(NUMBER_OF_NODE_WIDGETS);
    end record;

  Config                : System_Config_Typ;
