I do. Don't do it. It will lead to no end of confusion if states appear to
happen at different times when they are, in fact, nearly simultanous. If
the timezone directive is for the benefit of the branch offices, you should
simply set up a nagios server at each of those locations and have them
forward their check-results to the 'master' server.
