You can edit values for hosts individually.  Use the drop down box, or 
click a link (from the Host Summary page, or the LOG file etc.) to get 
to the Host Backup Summary.  On the right hand side, there is an Edit 
Config link (two actually, one for the host and one for the general 
config).  Change the IncrKeepCnt and/or FullKeepCnt for the host under 
Schedule.  Make sure the box next to Override is checked.

Obviously you could also just create or edit the host specific config 
files directly, but using the web interface is probably less error prone.

Fixed in 3.2.  From 
http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users AT lists.sourceforge DOT 
net/msg13757.html:

* Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if
  $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.  Requested by John Rouillard.
