That makes sense. Then again I think I've heard to argued both ways on
this list before. "don't check the host unless a service has problems"
and "don't check for services unless the host is up (if host checks are
enabled)". I think both have their merits. I added ping checks to all my
hosts and everything is kosher again. Thanks
