I'm pretty sure you can't do that.  You could of course contrive a web
page with two frames one for each.  I tried that myself once but it
wasn't very satisfactory as whenever the top frame had lots of
problems, the bottom frame would then be pushed down the page out of
sight.

If it's any help to you, the URL I now use is:

http://webserver/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&hostprops=10&servicestatustypes=29&serviceprops=10&sorttype=2&sortoption=6&noheader


Even though this doesn't explictly show hosts, if a host is down you
will still see it on this page because its services will also be down
(or unknown or whatever).

According to the Display Filters panel which appears if you remove the
"&noheader", this one shows:

Host Status Types:               All
Host Properties:                 Not In Scheduled Downtime & Has Not Been 
Acknowledged
Service Status Types:            Pending | Unknown | Warning | Critical
Service Properties:              Not In Scheduled Downtime & Has Not Been 
Acknowledged

and the sort is by state duration descending.

Of course it won't show downed hosts if they have no services.  I make
sure all hosts have at least one service (even if that's just ping) so
they can be seen on this service page.

hth,

Jim

=======================================================

Thanks Jim - that's just the info I needed to get this setup. I've changed 
this slightly so that the headers and side frame also appear now. So I 
simply edited the side.php file and added a new line after line 68:

<li><a href="<?php echo 
$cfg["cgi_base_url"];?>/status.cgi?host=all&hostprops=10&servicestatustypes=29&serviceprops=10&sorttype=2&sortoption=6" 
target="<?php echo $link_target;?>">ALL (Unhandled)</a></li>

This is exactly what our support guys wanted to be able to see on a single 
page.

Julian.
