Service notifications

[Nagios]

 Let say that we use the service check_ping. Under that service I set
all the hosts that should use that check. 
I also set the contact group here. Can I get Nagios to send
notifications to different contacts for different hosts?
Is the notification depending on the contact in the host definition?
Lets say that I have printers and routers in the
check_ping service. I want the notification for the printers to go to
one group and for the routers to an other.

I want to thank OP5 for help in this matter :)

Regards,
Lars Nygren

How are you checking the services ? Usually a "Service" is one instance
of an aplication, running on one host, which means that for each of this
service/host pairs, there is one entry in the services.cfg file.
Since each instance can define its own notification group, you should
have no problems. Please send some more info.

PS.
If by ten webservers, you mean ten virtual domains running on one
server, then you would need ten host entries with the hostname.domain
ruther than the IP address defined, and ten servise entries.
(Do not take my word on this, I am not an expert and I am not running
anything like that, so there might be other ways to do it.)
