PAGE criteria can also be a regular expression. So "PAGE=%unix/.*"
would match hosts on any page below the "unix" page.  

And "PAGE=%.*/mx" would match hosts on an "mx" page, regardless of
where in the page hierarchy it is located.

Then the match would be done on the page that is the "primary" one,
i.e. the one where the host definition has a "prefer" tag. If none of
the definitions of a host has such a tag, then it uses the definition
that does not have a "noconn" tag and does not have "0.0.0.0" as the
IP address.
