What you posted originally was not a host definition but rather a host  
_template_. The difference is critical and you even explain it in ALL  
CAPS above. The 'register 0' means that nagios isn't supposed to treat  
it as a host to check but rather as something that will be referenced  
in a subsequent host definition with a  'use' statement. Find where  
you 'use serverA' and look at that definition. If contact_groups is  
defined there, what's used in the template doesn't matter.

This wouldn't matter if the actual host definition overrides it.  
That's what I'm trying to determine.

Nothing outside of a configuration or logic error would. admins, non- 
admins, it's all the same to nagios.
