Actually I think that he is trying to configure something for a group of hosts rather than configure something on a group of hosts. For example lets assume that you have a DHCP server and you want to configure static ip addresses for each of your servers. You could run through each host grabbing all of the MAC addresses and IP addresses from each server but you would only be configuring them on one server.
I am not saying that that is the case and I am curious as to what the case is, but that is an example of what I think we are being asked for here.
