I think that is what I found as well, so I bagged the class stuff
altogether and went with only host names.  And I refreshed my memory on
how to cut and paste in my text editor...

Have you tried placing the lines at the very top of the file or at the
very bottom?

I had a problem with the client-local.cfg file where I had put the
hostname of the same class after the class name which was empty. Nothing
worked. Once there is a hit, hostname or class, it stops processing. So
it seems that you cannot expect hostname commands and class name
commands to both execute; which ever it finds first it executes those
commands and then stops. At least that is what I have found.
