It fits exactly with my observations.
I eagerly await the release of 4.3 :-)

Please correct me if I am wrong, but if in bb-hosts, I have

group Unix Production

page test Test Servers
group Unix Test
0.0.0.0 server4 #
0.0.0.0 server5 #

page oracle Oracle Servers

0.0.0.0 server3 # noconn
Group Oracle Test
0.0.0.0 server6 # noconn
0.0.0.0 server7 #
And in a config file I use PAGE=3Dprod, it should limit itself to server1, =
server2 and server3.
However PAGE=3Doracle doesn't seem to pick up the server3 and server6.
But it does seem to apply to server7
The problem is that you have servers on multiple pages. The "PAGE=..."
setting in 4.2.x only matches against a single page where the server is located (on the "info" status page, I believe it's the location that is listed first. So it won't pick up your server3 and server6 as being on the "oracle" page.
This has been changed for 4.3.0.
There's no "SUBPAGE=...", by the way - the "PAGE=..." works on the page path - i.e. if you have page prod subpage web
0.0.0.0 webserver1
page test
subpage web
0.0.0.0 testserver1
then the full PAGE for webserver1 would be "prod/web" . A "PAGE=web"
would match this, but would also match "testserver1" because it's on a "web" subpage (path for that is "test/web".
"PAGE=..." supports regular expressions.
