on the client by starting the Xymon client with the "--class=Classname"
option. If you specify it in the hosts.cfg file on the Xymon server, it
overrides any class name that the client reports.

handy to allow alerts.cfg to trigger on this as well. Not sure what this
would entail but would be very useful.

You already can. I see it is not
documented in the alerts.cfg man-page, but you can use CLASS=... and
EXCLASS=... in alerts.cfg just as you would use HOST=... or EXHOST=...
