2 Nagios boxes running together in different locations

[FTL Nagios]

Interesting  - How does it work though - I mean if the firewall plays up at
Site A, it thinks everything in Site B is down - so Nagios GUI marks
everything as down - what happens then if say a server in Site B does
actually go down - we will not get alerted to that?

I made a slight error in my original description - when the firewall "goes
down" it cant contact anything at both locations, not just Site A, due to
the fact that the protected interface stays up but just denies all traffic.

We are currently working on this with GTA but im losing the will to live
with 300 texts virtually every night!!

You could monitor the firewall, and configure it to be the parent of the
hosts behind it.  That way, when it "goes down", you only get the alert for
the firewall crapping out, and not all of the hosts that depend on it.
