Alright, I will do my best to explain the situation that I'm running into:

(These are example computers)

CompA, CompB, CompC

I will add these machines at the Devices Class " / " (Under Devices it will 
show as being under "/Devices").  In the PerfConf it will show RRDTemplate as 
"/Devices" which is what it should be.

I take CompA and move it to "/Servers/Windows".  In the PerfConf it will show 
RRDTemplate as "/Servers/Windows".

For my http monitoring I only want it on CompB and CompC.  So I click on (under 
Main Views on the left) "Devices" then click the "Classes" tab.  In the 
"Sub-Devices" part of the window in the input box I will enter 
"Custom-Monitors" and click "Add".  
Once the screen refreshes there will be a new Sub-Device called 
"Custom-Monitors".  I click on the link for "Custom-Monitors" then click on the 
"PerfConf" tab.  This window has all the Performance Templates from the 
"/Devices" class.  Under the "Performance Templates" in the input box I'll put 
"http-monitoring" then click "add".  Now I have another Performance Template 
called "http-monitoring".  I click on the link, I will now be in the properties 
of that Performance Template.  Under DataSources part of the window, in the 
input box I'll put in "check_http" then click "Add".  That will create a 
datasource called "check_http".  I click on the link for "check_http", zenoss 
sets up the performance template for SNMP, I change that to COMMAND and have 
the following settings:

Name - check_http
Source Type - COMMAND
Enabled - True
Use SSH - False
Component - 
Event Class - /Net
Event Key - check_http
Severity - Critical
Cycle Time - 60
Command Template - /usr/local/zenoss/libexec/check_http -I ${dev/manageIp} -e 
"HTTP/1"

Click on Save, then click on "Devices" on the left menu.
Select (with the check box) CompB and CompC.
In the drop down box select "/Custom-Montors" then click "Move To".

To make sure the devices are in that group I'll select the "Classes" tab then 
click on the "Custom-Monitors" link.  In the Devices part of the window it will 
show CompB and CompC.

So I want to make sure that they are grabbing the correct template, I click on 
the link for CompB, then select the "PerfConf" tab.  It shows the "RRDTemplate 
@ /Devices" .  Check CompC, Same thing.

That's about as detailed as I can get it.
Thanks for going through this with me.
