'Fixing' scheduling of service checks

Post-Christmas greetings to everyone.
I run several reference FTP downloads hourly (using a custom-written
Apan check) over a satelite link. It is important that these do not all
occur at same time, as they would give false results as they would be
sharing bandwidth. I frequently reschedule the checks so they occur at
nice intervals, but anytime nagios gets restarted, I have to do it all
over again. And I also find that after a while the scheduling will
'drift' enough for some of them to happen simultaneously. Also if the
link goes down Nagios goes into a flat spin trying to do all the checks,
and the scheduling gets screwed up.
So what would anyone suggest as the best way to solve this? A daily cron
job to reschedule the checks via the external command file?
thanks
