Nagios 2.x configs compatible with 3.x?

[Sascha.Runschke at gfkl.com]

Hi,

I'm wondering:

is it possible to use 2.x configs for hosts, services and the like with 
3.x without problems?

The scenario is the following:

I've monarch running now with some spooky config, so it doesn't overwrite 
nagios.cfg and
cgi.cfg. Those are fully 3.x configured and contain the needed parameters. 
Yet I'd like
to keep monarch for configuring the hosts, services, timeperiods, 
escalations and such.
Of course I've tried it already and it "seems" to work. I still wonder 
though, if I have to
expect any problems sooner or later? I know that I won't be able to use 
the new
3.x features, like integrated extinfos, inherited contactgroups, multiple 
templates and
the like - but I can live with it for now. I haven't tried if escalations 
configured with
monarch will work, but I'd expect so.
The problem is that $CTO says: I want a webconfig for nagios, no excuses!
And I don't want to keep using 2.x anymore, since the performance of 3.x 
and
especially the polished parent-checking are extremely valueable to us.

So, does anyone have any objections against using 2.x configs with 3.x?

Do I have to expect any problems Ethan?

Thanks for any input,

S
