That is easy, although the documentation is far from clear and it took
me a few experiments to get it working.  What I couldn't get to work
was using check_by_ssh on the monitoring host to call check_by_ssh on
a firewall to monitor something behind the firewall.  The machine behind
the firewall didn't have an external IP, so couldn't be talked to
directly.  After a few attempts at trying to make check_by_ssh ->
check_by_ssh -> check_disk work I gave up and switched to NCSA, which
is a cleaner and more efficient way of doing it.  The only reason I
tried chaining check_by_ssh was to try to avoid having to read through
all the NCSA stuff in detail.
