It would require a new contact. The base assumption is that if a contact
is set to receive warnings, they receive warnings for all hosts and
services they are contacts for. There is no exception capability like
what you're looking for related to contact notifications.

Nope. That's the usual solution. The other option is to build that logic
into your notification script.
