I disagree with this particular solution on technical grounds (I
think, because it's 2:27 in the morning and I'm drunk so I'm not
sure).

My drunken recollection of stunnel is that it tunnels tcp over tcp
and therefore suffers from exponential backoffs. I could be wrong on
this, but I'm pretty sure I dismissed stunnel as a VPN technology
years ago, Using a VPN technology to do this sort of thing is a
good solution, if only there were a VPN technology I believed to be
worthy. My PHB thinks that PPTP is wonderful, which tells you all
you need to know about my PHB...
I think this is something Nagios needs to deal with. Yeah, I'm on
the crappy end of a PHB who insists that the monitoring system is on
a box with a changeable IP, but I can't (I hope) be the only one.
