Taking a stab, do you have any services defined for those hosts? Nagios
is primarily a service monitor. In nagios-2 and prior, hosts are never
checked unless a service on them returns a non-OK result. I would have
expected nagios -v to complain about lack of services though. An
alternative explanation is that you haven't told nagios to look at the
hosts.cfg and hostgroups.cfg files by specifying them as cfg_file(s) in
nagios.cfg.
