What I use the SMARTSETS for is so that netview will know the correct
community name to DISCOVER and DEMAND poll certain groups of devices that we
have special community names for.  I have the DISCOVER NEW NODES disabled and
only use LOADHOSTS to inject host into DB.  Also now with the new NVMAPUTIL
tool, I can delete them in script.   This is much cleaner for us since
students come and go or network devices are changed.  Princeton maintains a
HOST REGISTRATION  for all nodes on campus on a separate machine and this is
where the NETVIEW DB comes from using LOADHOSTS in a script as the
registrations change.
