With a HOST pagetype, if you ack any alert for host X, then you have 
effectively acked *all* alerts for host X.

With a RCPT pagetype, if you ack any alert sent to recipient X, you have 
effectively acked *all* of recipient X's alerts.

With a EVENT pagetype, if you ack an alert for a host.service, you ack all 
alerts for just that host.service.

With a GROUP pagetype, if you ack any alert for a host defined in a group 
(in bb-hosts) then you have acked all alerts for all hosts in that group. 
Hosts not in any group belong to a global group and are handled as if a 
group were defined for all of them.
