I am looking for some help in organizing hosts. I see two methods in
jffnms maybe I'm missing something, but here's the picture I get:

1) maps. Maps seem cool, but they are actually for organizing interfaces,
not hosts. If an iterface or two is added to a particular map the host
shows up, but upon clicking the host you only get the interfaces that
have been added. Any newly discovered interfaces will be missing and
trick a person into thinking they aren't there.  This might be useful
for organizing hosts if it were possible to add an AD default map (or
several default maps).

2) customers. Customers works well for keeping hosts organized. With AD
and all, but the problem being that only one customer is allowed per
interface. So if I do have a "real" customer that needs access to their
interfaces, those interfaces will be missing from the virtual customer I
mave have set up to group a particular region.

I hope I'm missing something and there is a better way to organize hosts,
What I want to be able to do is group the hosts into various groups, and
be able to know with certainty that if I select a host out of any of
these groups, I will see all of it's interfaces, and not have to have a
human check every day for new interfaces and assign them to the
appropriate groups.

is there a better way?

Thanks for your consideration!
