Currently the Configuration->Services page displays all the
individual services (in some order): 

    ACDServer
    CallResolver
    CallResolver-Agent
    ConfigServer
    MediaServer
    PageServer
    ParkServer
    PresenceServer
    ResourceListServer
    SIPRegistrar
    SIPStatus
    SipXbridge
    sipXivr
    SIPXProxy
    SipXrelay

(Side Note: We are missing some from this list: Certainly the
conference service, and isn't there a sipxconfig-agent that has
to run on an ACD system?)

Especially given that some of those names are not exactly
admin-friendly, I think it would be good to consider reducing the
number of entries by creating some functional groups that have
related functions.  The Services page would then be restricted to
configuring the functional groups on a Server.  This not only
makes it easier to understand, but 

Here's a strawman list of groups and what they contain (I'm not
crazy about some of these group names; suggestions are
encouraged); they reduce the number from 15 to 6: 

  Management (always on the master, by definition)
      ConfigServer
      CallResolver

  SIP Router (N per cluster: replicated)
      SIPRegistrar
      SIPXProxy
      SipXrelay
      ResourceListServer
      CallResolver-Agent

  Voicemail (One per cluster)
      MediaServer
      SIPStatus

  Call Distribution (1|N ?)
      PageServer
      ParkServer
      sipXivr

  SIP Trunk (N per cluster)
      SipXbridge

  Call Center (N per cluster)
      ACDServer
      PresenceServer

  Conference Service (N per cluster)
      (?)

Some questions to consider:
      * Do administrators need to be able to be able to "explode" the
        group to see what's inside them even if they cannot control them
        individually?
      * Does the above grouping create any problems?
