Yes... I've been pondering over this quite a bit!

Done that...

Yes, using nsca and configured out of inet.

I've modified the script given in:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/distributed.html

so that it logs its actions into a file and found that it never *ever* 
sends a passive alert for anything other than my 'ping' checks, and even 
then only for some of them.

I've been following the documentation quite closely.
