The bbgen toolkit - a BB add-on available from www.deadcat.net - lets
you do this; I call it "pagesets". What it boils down to is having a
number of different layouts based on the information you have about
the hosts you monitor.

You can do the same thing with the stock BB tools - just setup a dummy
bb-hosts file with the second layout and run bb-display.sh twice,
first with the original bb-hosts file, and second with the alternate
one (change the BBHOSTS environment variable to point at the file you
use). It's just easier to configure with bbgen (and faster).
