checking if nrpe is running at all.

Hi,
I am checking 30 things or so on 400 nodes via nrpe excecutions.
What I see sometimes particularly when a host is dead but still in a pingable state
is that if nrpe can not be reached then I get 30 failiures from each of
things I am monitoring that nrpe has timed out.
I really only want to see one message that nrpe is not available.
So I thought I would make a nrpe check to see if nrpe was running at all
and then make this a service dependency for all the others.
However when I came to make the service dependency I see I have to specify host names
eg
define servicedependency{
host_name WWW1
service_description Apache Web Server
dependent_host_name WWW1
dependent_service_description Main Web Site
execution_failure_criteria n
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c
}
and so if I want to do this I would have to make 30*400 entries to do what I wanted. Making
30 entries would have been okay.
Is there a better of way of doing what I want to do?
Steve
