Yes, the idea with pagesets is that you can group your hosts any way you
like - so that the view people have of the hosts is customized to the way
they work, instead of having a single view of all hosts. E.g. where I work
there is one view where we group servers by customer - this is used by the
people responsible for the customer contact - and another view where the
servers are grouped by OS - this is used by our second-line support group.

Pagesets have existed for a long time, and are handled entirely by the bbgen
tool. There's a description of this in the bbgen man-page (look for the
"Building alternate pagesets" section.
