Interesting idea.  You could enhance maint_form to include the option,
possibly in the "Filter hostlist" section, and adjust enadis.c to process
it.  The host list is populated from a xymondboard search, so you could use
anything that that returns, such as XMH_NET, XMH_OS, XMH_DGNAME (group
name) or XMH_PAGENAME, and filter based on that.  What you're looking for
is XMH_CLASS.

The data for matching is retrieved by a call to fetch_board() (in
lib/headfoot.c), which uses this xymondboard search: "xymondboard
fields=hostname,testname,disabletime,dismsg".  You'd have to add on
"XMH_CLASS" to that, and then adjust the parsing code to handle and store
the class string to be matched against.  The actual filtering is also done
in lib/headfoot.c, in the function wanted_host(), so you'd need to add a
bit of code to compare the host class against the filter string.

Cheers
Jeremy
