As far as I have read the documentation you can use either keyword. SWAP
is just three letters shorter than MEMSWAP (according to documentation
you can use either MEMPHYS, PHYS, MEMACT, ACT, MEMSWAP and SWAP).

CLASS is up to you to define. You could use it to classify and group
togehter simlar systems in i.e. hobbit-clients.cfg (the most practical
place to use this flag).

On the clients define CLASS=webfront and in your hobbit-clients.cfg
write this:

CLASS=webfront
       PROC java
       PROC httpd 10

You could achive the same thing using regexp, like:

HOST=%web(1-9).mydomain.com
       PROC java
       PROC httpd 10

Which soultion you use depends more on what you feels are the most
practiacal solution.

You've got many suggestions already, but I have one more solution:
update your clientdata channel, this is what my channel looks like:

[clientdata]
       ENVFILE /home/hobbitd/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
       NEEDS hobbitd
       CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client
--log=$BBSERVERLOGS/clientdata.log hobbitd_client --no-clear-msgs
--no-clear-files --no-clear-ports

This tells hobbitd_client to not generate CLEAR status if no test data
is defined for MSGS, FILES or PORTS.

All of the above implies that you use central configuration.
