Not sure I visualize what you want correctly - but it sounds to me like
you want to create some additional page or subpage groups, and copy the
appropriate host entries into those.  You can make the IP address of any
copied entries 0.0.0.0, and just put the option "noconn" on the entry
for the tests.  The first entry, with the real IP and real tests, will
do the testing, and the copied entries for the hosts will appear on
other pages of you choosing with the same test statuses.  You can of
course choose, on those subpages, to do alternative group-compress or
group-except options to alter the display.

Hope that helps.
