Define "smart".  If any service on the host is down, the host itself 
appears to be marked down.  This is not an accurate assessment of the 
problem.  Example: I turned off the ldap service on an ldap system.  The 
service detail view correctly shows that the service is down.  The host 
detail view incorrectly says the host is down.  The host itself is fine.

This is an undocumented feature of the service function then?

host_name: This directive is used to specify the short name of the host 
that the service "runs" on or is associated with.

There is no hostgroup_name directive listed, nor does it say that you can 
comma separate this list.
