Hi Jess,

I have many hosts in multiple hostgroups as well.  Like you, I find it 
convenient to do so for mapping services to hostgroups versus doing so 
directly to hosts.  In my configuration, I have a top-level hostgroup that 
defines hosts according to their physical location, e.g. a colo or data 
center.  I then have the PING service configured against that top-level 
hostgroup.  For more system/network gear specific service mappings, I 
define finer-grained hostgroups and map services to them.  Here's an 
example, LNC and SCC are my two data centers:

define service{
         use                             generic-service
         hostgroup_name                  LNC
         service_description             PING
         check_command                   check_ping!5,20%!10,40%
         servicegroups                   LNC
         }

define service{
         use                             generic-service
         hostgroup_name                  SCC
         service_description             PING
         check_command                   check_ping!200,20%!400,40%
         servicegroups                   SCC
         }

define service{
         use                             generic-service
         hostgroup_name                  LNC-linuxservers,SCC-servers
         service_description             LOAD
         check_command                   check_remote_load!5,5,5!10,10,10
         servicegroups                   LNC
         }
