Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I use the proxy manager to split incoming traffic to the correct various servers. It is a bit of a pain to see the hosts that are involved if they dont contain a unique string for a group.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be really usful to be able to create groups of hosts, say I have one for the UI, API, FTP for a specific service, id like to be able to group them together so I can see easily which hosts relate to each other

Describe alternatives you've considered
Colour coding or labels - disregarded as whilst more useful than status quo, if there are many hosts, then it could still be hard to quickly see related hosts

Additional context
Imagine a situation where you have multiple clients acessing a shared IP and you have a number of rules to different servers/ports for different subdomains etc and I wanted to see all the rules relating to s a specific client

Or maybe wanting a way of grouping "internal public", "Internal org". and "external" above and beyond access rules

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how proxy hosts are listed and managed in the proxy manager UI and API, then determine where group data would need to be represented. Done means hosts can be assigned to groups and related hosts can be identified together, including the client and category examples described.
