Nagios only has features for either hostgroups and/or servicegroups but not a listing of nodes where users can pick and choose which hosts and services to enable/disable/downtime.

You could always slap together a hostgroup that contains the hosts you
want to put in downtime and reload the config.  Alternatively, it
probably wouldn't be hard to come up with a script that took a list of
hosts (and maybe start/end times or durations) and submitted downtimes
for those hosts via Nagios's external command interface.
