This will not work unless the check_plugins you are using understand  
and can work with multiple host addresses. Most (all?) of the standard  
plugins do not.

You can either create new host{} entries for each IP address or just  
use one address for the main host address and create special service/ 
command definitions for the others.

define host {
	host_name Foo
	host_address 192.168.1.1
	...
}

define service {
	host_name Foo
	service_description http on 172.16.1.1
	check_command	check_http_by_ip!172.16.1.1
	...
}

define service {
	host_name Foo
	service_description ssh on 172.16.1.1
	check_command	check_ssh_by_ip!172.16.1.1
	...
}

define command {
	command_name check_http_by_ip
	command_line	$USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$  ... (other plugin specific  
arguments).
}

define command {
	command_name check_ssh_by_ip
	command_line	$USER1$/check_ssh -H $ARG1$  ... (other plugin specific  
arguments).
}

  The above was done completely from memory so there may be  
syntactical errors but the concept is there...
