the check_ping plugin in v1.4 accepts multiple IP addresses...

Based on the above, you can define multiple IP addresses in the host 
definition. - Nagios doesn't mind.

However, you will need new command definitions for all the other services 
as they do not handle multiple addresses in the HOSTADDRESS macro.

The new definitions need to use the ARGx macros from the service 
definition instead of HOSTADDRESS

The service definitions need to provide the target address as arguments to 
the command.
