Hi Tim, 
if you want to exclude this host from the ping-servers hostgroup, 
you should really exclude it from the hostgroup itself, i.e.:

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name          ping-servers
        alias                   Pingable hosts
        members                 *,!outsidefirewallhost
        }

This should do the trick. 

Cheers, 
Giacomo
