object inheritance - overwrite custom variables?

Hey
I have tried to use object inheritance in my nagios config, but a few
things are bugging me:
I have a linux-server which uses generic-server and sets up default
settings for all my linux servers. I have some templates for tasks, in
this case: storage, kvm and hardware. They only add the hostgroup (and
gets services this way) and have some custom variables. Here is an example:
define host{
name storage-server
hostgroups +storage-servers
register 0
__PROCS_WARN 500
__PROCS_CRIT 750
}
A kvm host is defined with 'use linux-server,kvm-server,hardware-server'
and storage host with 'use linux-server,storage-server,hardware-server'.
Here is an example of a storage host:
define host{
use linux-server,storage-server,hardware-server
host_name storage01.domain.tld
alias storage01
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
}
Hostgroups work fine (even tough the lists of hostgroups on a host in
the webinterface isn't in the same order as the use-line), but custom
variables doesn't. I have a __PROCS_WARN and __PROCS_CRIT in
linux-servers with a default number of max processes before warning and
critical - this needs to be overwritten for kvm-server and
storage-server, because they have more processes - but the one from
linux-server is used in both cases...
What do I need to do to make this work as expected?
