> For instance, I have a service definition:

> host_name host1, host2
> < lots of stuff deleted>

> When the service on host1 goes down, I want the contact_group

> Into the service definition. But, I when this service breaks
> on host2, I don't want group1 to be notified. I want group2
> to be notified. So really I just want the services on each
