pseudo-host with multiple ip's

[Subhendu Ghosh]

What error are you getting?

Remember nagios doesn't do anything with host entries unless there is a 
service issue. So the service checks should return OK for non-existant IPs 
and CRITICAL for pingable IPs

Using "negate check_fping -H unusedIP" for the service and notify on 
failure.
