Two fields (same value), fill in third field

My dataset has three fields from two different data sources. Two fields are identical (hostnames with different field names). One dataset has a third field that I would like to fill in. Example:

sourcetype . hostname1 computer1 . domain
source1 . host1 . NT1
source1 . host2 NT2
source2 host1
source2 host2

Want to it to be:

sourcetype . hostname1 computer1 . domain
source1 . host1 . host1 NT1
source1 . host2 host2 NT2
source2 host1 host1 NT1
source2 host2 host2 . NT2

| eval Domain=case(
hostname1="host1" AND computername1="host1", "NT1",
hostname1="host2" AND computername1="host2", "NT2")

Same can achieve via lookup if you have large no of values to be created.

How are the values NT1 and NT2 determined for the last two events in your example output?
