A newbie configuration question

[stan]

I am trying to rationalize a couple of Nagios configurations that have
2different histories, and they seem more different than I think they should
be. So, first I want to get the big picture n my head, and decide what
seems to be a sensible configuration to support going forward.

Basicly I have in mind some thing like this.

1. Define hosts in a file
2. Define services in a file
3, Define commands in a file
4. Aggregate hosts in groups of similar types in a hostgroups file
5. Aggregate services in groups of similar types in a servicegroups file


Now, where I start to get confused here is that the service definitions
seem to have a filed for one or more hostnames. Why is this?

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
