How should I understand the .default. host tag. Ie should I put the 
following in my bb-hosts

0.0.0.0 .default. # myspecialtag

or

0.0.0.0 .default. # nodisp myspecialtag

Regards,

Yes.

or

0.0.0.0 .default. # nodisp myspecialtag
This one would cause all of your hosts to be "nodisp" by default.
Probably not what you want ...

Should I be able to add a alternate pageset tag via a default tag.

ie

0.0.0.0   .default.  # OS:linux-box
1.2.3.4   mybox  # ssh telnet

and expect that this is the same as:

1.2.3.4 mybox # ssh telnet OS:linux-box

No. I know this is very poorly (read: not at all) explained in
the man-page. But the .default. host only works for the "simple"
tags, not those like the pageset tags that require parameters.
