I too would like to see multiple 'members' directives per hostgroup. I
currently have hostgroups with nearly 600 members. That's approximately
22,800 characters per members statement. This is, of course, uneditable
for the most part. I rely exclusively on customized provisioning scripts
to generate these config files.
