host in more than one hostgroup?

I can put a host in more than 1 hostgroup correct?
I would have this:
host router-ext part of group all which has members * (thus getting 100% of
my hosts.cfg)
host router-ext-2 part of group routerext which has members router-ext-2
(only 1 host in that hostgroup)
Both host's ping the SAME IP.
This would be then used in my escalations in the following way:
define hostgroupescalation{
hostgroup_name routerext
first_notification 2
last_notification 3
contact_groups qpage-group
notification_interval 60
}
define hostgroupescalation{
hostgroup_name all
first_notification 3
last_notification 4
contact_groups it-group,nextel-group
notification_interval 60
}
---
The reason behind this is that the my "router-ext-2" host I want to have an
escalation from a standard e-mail to sending a qpage alert after 20 minutes
of being down. So to accomplish this I have router-ext-2 set to a 20 minute
notification interval, and "router-ext" host set to my standard 120 minute
interval.
This should (this is why I ask) give me a setup where on the first
down/unknown response I get an e-mail sent to an e-mail box, on the 2nd
notification I get a qpage alert sent to my cell phone, and then on the 3
alert I'll still continue to get my e-mails because the escalation for "all"
has the router-ext part of it.
Would this work?
