Referencing hostgroups in hostgroup definitions

[Rogers, Nick]

Hi folks,

I have devices on my network that are "dumb" (unmanaged switches, DSL/cable
modems, etc.) that I have host definitions for but set to never notify.
These devices are simply entered to get displayed in the Status map diagram
to show parent device relationships. I have a hostgroup defined that
explicitly lists the dumb hosts in the members directive named DUMBHOSTS. I
want a hostgroup that includes everything except the dumb hosts so I can
have just the responsive hosts listed in the Service Status Details For All
Hosts page. I tried !DUMBHOSTS in the members directive, but Nagios
complains about 

Error: Could not find any host matching 'DUMBHOSTS'
Error: Could not expand member hosts specified in hostgroup (config file
...)

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks in advance,
