Hostgroup tricks?

[Giacomo Montagner]

Hi Tim, 
if you want to exclude this host from the ping-servers hostgroup, 
you should really exclude it from the hostgroup itself, i.e.:

define hostgroup{
	hostgroup_name          ping-servers
	alias                   Pingable hosts
	members                 *,!outsidefirewallhost
	}

This should do the trick. 

Cheers, 
Giacomo
