Hmmm ... I am not sure what happens when you have the CLASS: setting in 
hosts.cfg, but the client also sends a class-name in the client data. 
Which one takes precedence?

Looking at the code it seems that the one from hosts.cfg should overrule 
the client data, but right now I cannot test it.

The only way you can really see what the class setting is, is by 
watching the status-channel data:
    xymoncmd xymond_channel --channel=status \
	egrep "^..status.*<hostname>"
(you need to be the xymon user for that to work). The classname is field 
#16 (just before the page-path where the host is found).
