Hello,
the answer is no, I think.

But you can use a dummy service with multiple failed host tests.

check process Server matching "sleep"
  start program "/bin/ksh -c 'sleep 31536000 &'" with timeout 120 seconds
#  stop program "" with timeout 120 seconds
  if failed host mmonit.com port 80 then alert
  if failed host google.com port 80 then alert
:
  if failed host yahoo.com port 80 then alert

This will reduce the number of alerts, but you get an alert if one of
the hosts is not reachable. But I prefere the remote host check for all
hosts and use an additional tool to handle the notification requests.

With regards,
Lutz
