Monitor Multiple IP addrs

[Subhendu Ghosh]

A host can only have one address (typically the one closest to nagios).

Since each end of the link belongs to a different host - you should define 
2 hosts and a service for each.

Also define the remote host as a child of the local host based on the 
normal routing path.

If these are routers that support snmp, take a look at check_ifoperstatus 
to monitor the interface.
