Sounds like you are trying to solve a problem in an inappropriate manner.

Can you provide an example?

I was wondering if there was any way to disable rule groups based on host
groups or IP subnets?

Ie. with pulledpork and the disablesid.conf file, I can disable rule groups
such as "shellcode", "web-iis" etc. globally.

With the threshold.conf, I can disable one individual rule for multiple IPs
or subnets.

What I would like to be able to do is disable rule group(s) based on host
groups or IP subnets.

Is there any way to do this besides maintaining two instances of snort?

Thanks.
