As I mentioned earlier: version 2.5.

Remarkable. What you describe is exactly what I want, but in my case  
it appears to complain about the fact that my "define hostgroup" is  
lacking a "members" line. Also, the Nagios documentation has the  
"members" line coloured red in the hostgroup config section,  
indicating it a requirement for a HG definition.

Hmmm... I'll hammer on it some more. Maybe I need a larger hammer.
/me grabs a mallet.

Cheers!
