I did something similar using pagesets. I created a pageset that listed
servers by their primary function like this:
fnpage APPSERVER Application Servers
fnpage MQS MQ Series
fnpage ORACLE Oracle
fnpage SQLSERVER SQL Server
fnpage WEBSERVER Web Servers
Added "Functional view" to the views menu and was all set. This seems to
work pretty well, my DBA's like it.
Thanks,

DB servers on it.
Some of the machines are solaris and some are linux so they are
primarily monitored by solaris and linux administrators and are on
similar pages.
So I created a page like this:
page DB DB Servers
group-compress <font size="+2">DB Servers</font>
0.0.0.0 lemond.tigr.org # noconn NAME:SYBTIGR
since the DBA refers to the systems by the database names on each I
was attempting to use the "NAME:" argument to change the display
name.
It does not seem to work unless it is on the primary or preferred line
in the bb-hosts file though.
The "COMMENT:" option also does not seem to work in this circumstance.
