Yyou have to have a service associated with a host before nagios will check 
the host.  So you need to devise some sort of service check.  I usually use 
a ping service check in this type of scenario.

"These censorship operations against schools and libraries are stronger
than ever in the present religio-political climate. They often focus on
fantasy and sf books, which foster that deadly enemy to bigotry and blind
faith, the imagination." -- Ursula K. Le Guin
