You cannot do something like

   10.0.0.1  hostA # !http

which would have been the obvious way of doing it, because "http" 
expects a URL.

Instead, add a new test to the protocols.cfg file. E.g.

    [web]
       port 80
       send "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"
       expect "200"

then you can put

   10.0.0.1  hostA # !web

in your hosts.cfg file.
