Thought it would.

Just remember that using the group { ... } 
declaration still does not in any way tie the 
host statement to the subnet, nor does putting 
the host statements inside the shared-network 
statement. The host statements are still global 
in scope, but at least you'll avoid the strange 
option inheritance that happens if you put them 
in the subnet declaration.
As far as I can see, the group statements are redundant - they do nothing.
