    IF you specify a fully qualified host name to the -H argument of the 
check_http plugin, those host headers will be sent as part of the HTTP get 
request.  I have used this for multiple (virtual) hosts on the same IP 
address.

    For testing, you can use the -v option to check_http to see the HTML in 
the page body which the plugin receives during the check.  For example:

check_http -H host1.site.com -v

check_http -H host2.site.com -v



    SO, use the host name of the web site as the "Address" in your nagios 
config, and your checks will differentiate virtual hosts.


Thanks,

Ivan.
