It's most definitely not a Nagios bug - Nagios will never just make up
services that aren't defined in your configs.  It can't.

Would it be possible to show any parts of your config with the word
"PING" in them? I guarantee you one of them is either directly or
indirectly assigned to your relay1 host.
