<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=601381815-07112006>We use separate
files for each server we monitor. We have 3 files in particular:
ntz00.cfg, ntz00a.cfg, and ntz00b.cfg. We have identical services defined
in ntz00a.cfg and ntz00b.cfg, as they are identical systems. ntz00.cfg has
3 services which are common to the other two, but they are not listed in either
ntz00a.cfg or ntz00b.cfg. When we view the hosts ntz00a or ntz00b on the
web interface, the additional services in ntz00.cfg appear.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=601381815-07112006>This isn't
necessarily a bad thing, but we don't want this to happen, since the host ntz00
"hops" between ntz00a and ntz00b in a high-availability
setup.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=601381815-07112006>I'm wondering if
this was something that was added as a feature, since the hostnames are so
similar (ntz00/ntz00a/ntz00b), perhaps there is logic built in to recognize that
<hostname> and <hostname>[a-z] are related in this
way.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
