If you'd care to re-write Nagios in such a way that it can scale to 10,000 
hosts using active checks, I'd be more than happy to use it. Sadly, the 
current 1 fork (and an exec for non embedded perl checks) per data point 
just doesn't scale well.

The extra resources required in this case are all on the client, not on the 
Nagios server(s).
