Question regular expression in ksh

I am trying to test to see if the hostname of the computer I'm on starts with ne1dxdb - it can contain any characters after that. I have the following code, but it's not working - it's not falling into the if statement. Any ideas?

boxname="unknown"

function get_hosttype {
HOSTNAME=`hostname`

if [ ${HOSTNAME} = ne1dxdb* ]
then
export boxname="test"
fi

if [ ${HOSTNAME} = ne1pxdb* ]
then
export boxname="prod"
fi
}
