Use the Source Luke.

But in the real world the equasion 1 host = 1 service is almost never
valid. After all there are disk involved, perhaps a database and it is
quite likely you want some means of maintaining them which could mean ssh,
.....

I think you are focussed to much on this host thing. If a normal
check_http does not work in a host definition then the website has host
restrictions. And so you have cut loose the 1on1 link between hardware and
services before you even went to look with nagios.
