The problem is that you have servers on multiple pages. The "PAGE=..."
setting in 4.2.x only matches against a single page where the server
is located (on the "info" status page, I believe it's the location that
is listed first. So it won't pick up your server3 and server6 as being 
on the "oracle" page. 

This has been changed for 4.3.0.

There's no "SUBPAGE=...", by the way - the "PAGE=..." works on the
page path - i.e. if you have 
   page prod 
   subpage web
   0.0.0.0  webserver1
   page test
   subpage web
   0.0.0.0  testserver1

then the full PAGE for webserver1 would be "prod/web" . A "PAGE=web"
would match this, but would also match "testserver1" because it's on
a "web" subpage (path for that is "test/web". 

"PAGE=..." supports regular expressions.
