When you implement this translation, it might be a good idea if
it could be turned off, eg. "use_distributed_translation=0" in
nagios.cfg. This is to be able to use an all-passive nagios top node
(i.e central nagios host) as a dummy that reflects the nagios
leaf nodes' (i.e distributed nagios hosts') world view.
