Actually, that's what the hostgroup_members directive is for. What's  
in question is the regex matching of '!basic_svc' to exclude it and  
whether that _should_work. I can find no specific example in the  
documentation that indicates it should and am not in a position to  
test it. My feeling is that it isn't supported there but I could be  
wrong. If the OP gets no other bites, asking on nagios-devel might be  
more useful in either case.
