One thing that it took me a while to notice is that you can specify
multiple hostnames for each entry in your services.cfg file. I have
some services with over 50 separate hostnames defined for them.
Combine that with the inheritance in services from the use directive,
and you should be able to keep your config pretty small.
You don't need to define 50 separate services in services.cfg if you
have 50 hosts that all need have their pop process monitored with the
same settings.
