Did you think about a power loop that you may be causing between circuit A and circuit B if both are attached to that same Y-cable?
draw a picture. pb1 |--a.1------host T cct A | ==============|--a.2---)---host A | / / /b.1 cct B / ==============|/ | pb2
now cct A and cct B are electrically connected. Do you think power will travel along b.1 to *both* host A and host T via a.2 (to host T through a.1 ) if cct A is powered off?
I would guess it depends on whether pb1 is a bus-type powerbar or if pb1 (a.1, a.2) are actually protected separate PDU sockets.
I would wonder if the load rating on cctB can handle both the bank of intended hosts plus host T (and its mates, the unintened hosts). That says nothing of the power quality issues or switching power supply interferance.

It's been what 10-12 years? greetings!
