Great, that worked perfectly.
Also just an FYI, the 2.x tarball of nagios, comes with the V1.0 online documentation =) Had to surf over to the nagios home page to read the 2.x docs.
Thanks again!

Yes.

It's in the manual just not where you expect it to be.

Advanced topics/Time-saving tips for object definitions
Synopsis:
define service{
hostgroup_name HOSTGROUP1,HOSTGROUP2,...,HOSTGROUPN
service_description SOMESERVICE
other service directives ...
}
Definitely got to fix the documentation and add the hostgroup_name to
the template explanations.

That's precisely what I am doing. Works well. Rather than changing the
hostgroups, use the "hostgroups" keyword in the host definition. See
the main template docs xodtemplate.html. Its buried under
Index/Object configuration file options/How Is Object Data Defined?/
"Click here".
Bookmark it.

Nope. You can do it just like you want to.
