You need an identical definition as far as host and service name, 
description and alias are concerned. If you set up check_commands 
dependson your needs... the central check_commands can be used as a fall 
back when no distributed status reports come in - very ofen, you'll find 
variants of check_dummy with a status of WARNING or CRITICAL and some 
message saying that no reports came in.

There are some more options you should understand - the manual chapter 
concerning distributed monitoring is rather helpful there.
