Of course this can be done with hostgroups but not if some checkpoint firewalls are clusters and some are not then you need two different hostgroups for that and it would add a hostgroup for each feature that might differ.

Definitly, i think service sets, once they are implemented, could do the trick here. Meanwhile i wrote a small perl module (https://github.com/sni/Monitoring-TT) which kind of does the same thing of cascaded type/tag based config.

Its just a external command: http://old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=140
Afaik we don't have that imported in our naemon documentation already.
