I’ve received a patch from ed.davison, if you have commented out hosts in your config, you’ll get odd \”address – hostname\” results in the drop down list. Ed’s patch fixes that; thankx 
At the moment you’d have to apply the patch your self from the below; but I have a official revision in the pipeline.

what is this host file?…..
what does it contain?
Hi Crest, your comment isn’t a clear.
There are two host files you could be referning to, 1 the unix etc hosts or 2 the nagios config file that contains a list of hosts for the configuration.
I hope these links have been some use.
