It's not as simple as providing you with a sample definition. There's
more to it than that but for your host/service definitions, you just
need to add on the central --
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
and on the remote --
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
There are other things you need to enable/change in nagios.cfg (and
other files), etc to make this all work though. The documentation I've
repeatedly pointed you to goes into the detail you're asking about.
