He just had not found the per-host section of the web interface where the
'edit config' link for the host-specific overrides lives.

I think adding a host with the NEW=OLD syntax is more elegant than having
to both hand-edit the hosts file and copy a template for the host-specific
settings to the right place. But suit yourself.
But, there was a hint in the original post about wanting to schedule
different directories from the same target differently which was not
answered. This is possible, but the only way to do it is to set up what
look like different host entries, using ClientNameAlias to point them back
to the same target. Then you can use the per-host configuration settings
to select different shares/directories/schedules.
