Sub-groups of hostgroups

As far as I know, hostgroups are all at the same level, but hosts can be 
members of more than one hostgroup.  I set my host definitions up like this:

define host {
	use		prod_windows_server
	host_name	servername
	alias		serveralias
	address		w.x.y.z
	hostgroups	+FTP Servers,Web Servers
}

My prod_windows_server host template sets a hostgroup of 
windows_servers.  In the host definition here, the + adds the additional 
host groups to the host.  Without the +, the host definition's hostgroup 
setting would replace windows_servers.

Then, in my services.cfg, I assign services to hostgroups:

define service {
	use			standard_service
	name			Web_Service
	hostgroup_name		Web Servers
	service_description	Service: Web
	check_command		check_nt_service!W3SVC
}

You don't have to assign services to a hostgroup, but it's convenient 
for me to do so.
