If you are trying to do something too complicated, you might be trying 
to push a square peg in to a round hole by forcing Nagios to work in a 
way it normally doesn't do.

Have you considered just having one notification command which calls a 
script. You can then program in all the logic in to this script.

The script can accept lots and lots of Nagios macros and change the 
output depending of conditional testing and outputting certain macros 
with information depending on which host or service it is.

This way all the logic is in once place and you just need to maintain 
that notification script.

I didn't look at the one contributed by John Kramme just now, but that 
might be a good starting point for you.
