Same service, multiple machines w/ individual notification

[Tim Pushor]

Ok lame subject line but was the best I could think of on short notice.

I've been using nagios for a couple of years now for various projects 
but this is the first time that I'm trying to use it in a more classic 
monitoring arrangement. I have to admit that I have found myself 
scratching my head on occasion when trying to figure out why certain 
things are bound to others, such as why a contact list is bound to a 
service when there isn't a 1:1 relationship between the two. For example 
- here's my current dilemma:

I have clusters of servers that are being monitored and are managed by 
different teams. I have a particular service that I want to monitor 
across the board but if it alarms on server 1,2,or 3 I want it to send a 
notification to a different list than if server 4,5, or 6 alarms. Due to 
several reasons (such as reporting the same metric across all servers, 
regardless of who supports them) I don't want to have different service 
names between servers.

I can't seem to see how I can easily accomplish this in the 
documentation.Any chance someone could help point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Tim
