Thanks for explaining more.

The regular expression seems rather complex (In other words, I couldn't figure it out Smilie), so I tried a different way.

Instead of making one all-purpose, confusing pattern, I suggest to to let find use either of two patterns. See if this makes sense, and does the job:
Code:
$ cat temp.sh
touch exploitation_ora.log.2013-03-28.001
touch server.log.2013-03-28.tar.gz

date=2013-03-28
instance=ora

for type in exploitation server; do
  echo Looking just for type = $type
  find . \( -name "${type}_$instance.log.$date.*" -o \
            -name "${type}.log.$date.*" \) -print
  echo
done

echo Looking for type = exploitation OR server
find . \( -name "exploitation_$instance.log.$date.*" -o \
          -name "server.log.$date.*" \) -print

Code:
$ ./temp.sh
Looking just for type = exploitation
./exploitation_ora.log.2013-03-28.001

Looking just for type = server
./server.log.2013-03-28.tar.gz

Looking for type = exploitation OR server
./exploitation_ora.log.2013-03-28.001
./server.log.2013-03-28.tar.gz

So the final find command would be the one to use, unless there is some other complication I'm missing.

NAME
nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num] [-v] [directory...] DESCRIPTION
nislog displays the contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the standard output. This command can be used to track changes in the namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are logged to this file and then propagated to replicas as log transactions. When the log is checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the replicas are removed. The nislog command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only. If directory is not specified, the entire log is searched. Otherwise, only those logs entries that correspond to the specified directories are displayed. OPTIONS
-h num Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -t num Display num transactions from the ``tail'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is 0, only the log header is displayed. -v Verbose mode. FILES
/var/nis/trans.log transaction log ATTRIBUTES
