Nagios with high server count, how to organize

[Misao]

This question is more directed to those with 50+ servers to even 1000+
servers. After a point, the service detail page, and even the status map,
get a little overwhelmed with all the servers on the list. Is there a way to
organize the server list in a more manageable manner? Can I show just a
certain list of servers I choose, or organize them by area/os/etc? I plan on
have a few hundred servers on Nagios, and I would prefer not having to
create a new Nagios instance for each department.
Also, this setup would be useful so that I can make sure that department 1
only sees their servers, and department 2 sees another group of servers, but
department 3 might need to see multiple groups, etc. I haven't found an easy
way to do this yet.

Also, on dependencies. Can I set up Nagios in a manner that if router 4 is
down, that Nagios won't bother telling me that all the servers behind router
4 are down? I currently have a setup where these servers are told what their
parent is, but it still tells me that every server is unreachable when the
router is down.
