Excluding hosts from hostgroups?

[Alex Moundalexis]

I could set up host checks, except that it isn't as practical with the 
quantity of nodes. As well, there are other service checks that must be 
run on the entire host group. These rogue (and blatantly irritating) 
machines would be a handful of nodes among dozens that would be omitted 
from a particular check.

I see it as additional granularity.

I'll make it work, regardless. Was just curious if the idea had been 
proposed before.
