Thanks :-) Yeah, that's how I had it when I was running 2.x. It just  
seemed more intuitively obvious to go with host checks once 3.0 made  
that a reasonable option, since it was the host state, not a service  
state, that we were monitoring. That's ok though. I was just wondering  
if there was a better way. Apparently not :-) Thanks again everyone!
