That does seem to help, however this suggests that I'll need to use some 
external script to periodically reset the pollerCategory for newly 
discovered hosts.

Also, it appears that OpenNMS needs to be restarted in order for changes 
to the pollerCategory to be properly calculated on the OpenNMS Web 
Console and for the <filter> rules in poller-configuration.xml to 
populate the poller properly.    Is there a more graceful way to get the 
categories on the Web Console and the poller to update to reflect 
changes to the asset database that have been made externally to OpenNMS?

What, if any issues exist if OpenNMS is frequently (2-3 times a day) 
restarted?
