Ah. Scrap that and use Merlin instead. Or, if you absolutely have
to keep using send_nsca, make the command just chuck the checkresults
in a file and keep a separate daemon running to send them upstream
without setting up a new connection for each check that runs. While
the command you've specified runs, nothing else happens.

If I were you, I'd use Merlin though. It was written for distributed
and loadbalanced setups and doesn't suffer from any of the performance
issues that haunts older ways of setting such things up.

You'll also want to read these documents before you get started:
http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/merlin.git;a=blob;f=HOWTO;hb=master
http://git.op5.org/git/?p=nagios/merlin.git;a=blob;f=README;hb=master

Let me know how it turns out.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
