nagios and ec2

[Novak Joe]

Hi,
 I'm interested in setting up nagios for use with amazon's ec2 service.  A
quick search of gmane did not turn up any results for the term 'ec2' in this
list, but I wonder if anyone has experience using it with aws.

I am interested in running nagios as part of an autonomous decentralized
system, such that in effect every host in the system is running nagios and
everyone is checking up on everyone else, albeit with the monitoring details
varying slightly depending on the host type.

Is this feasible, does it make any sense?  From what I've read so far it
seems like nagios was not designed and is not widely applied to this kind of
usage scenario, however from a cost perspective it is preferable for me to
run nagios on every host I have up, rather than paying for a minimum of 2
additional hosts which are completely dedicated to nagios and monitoring.
