This is 4.3.10 compiled by myself, on Linux. I would rather use the .default. than the command line for xymongen.
What's the syntax for default? I don't see it in the documentation I had:
0.0.0.0 .default. # nopropred:tls nopropyellow:tls
I also tried with "+tls" instead of "tls" ".default." starts and ends with a dot.
This was the first entry in my hosts.cfg file.

You can prevent the test result from propagating upward in the page hierarchy. See the "nopropyellow" "nopropred" tags To prevent the test result from appearing on the non-green page, use the "nonongreen" tag.

I wasn't able to make this work using .default. in hosts.cfg, but it worked as expected when I added it to the command line for xymongen.
Something is fishy. With 4.3.17+ on Solaris it certainly is able to work on the .default. line. I use it all the time.
nopropred:+msgs will add the "msgs" test to the list of tests not to propagate. Putting it on a hostline will limit its effect to just that host. Putting it on a .default. line will leave it in effect until the next .default. line. My configuration uses a new .default. at the top of each display group, so I know it works reliably.
If it isn't working for you on .default., I suggest confirming: the syntax of the tag that there isn't another .default. line later
