| You want check_cluster from the Nagios-Plugins distribution. This is a
plugin which checks the results of several host or service checks
directly from the Nagios status file to determine if a service is
available so, for example, you could have it checking all of your DNS
servers and only report that DNS is down if none of them are available.

That is exactly what I don't want. I was thinking of using one check as
a host and a service check at the same time.

Then you can use dependencies on that check on both service and hosts.
