service/host escallations with additional groups

[Scott Brynen]

I'm trying to define some service/host escallations that add an additional
user to the first notification, however, the additive operator doesn't seem
to work

define hostescalation{
       hostgroup_name          *
       first_notification      1
       last_notification       1
       contact_groups          +servicedesk
}
(on the first notification, send a note to the servicedesk IN ADDITION to
the normal.)



It also strikes me that service/host escallations should really match the
contactgroups, not hostgroups or servicegroups.  something like this

define hostescallation{
      current_contactgroups         unix
      first_notification            4
      last_notification       0
      contact_groups          unix-secondary-pagers
}
(for all those hosts that would normally use the contactgroup 'unix' use
the contactgroup 'unix-secondary')


Am I missing an obvious command somewhere?  It seems silly to have to
create a separate servicegroup/hostgroup for contacts for escallations
given there's already contactgroups
