What do you mean by 'stale result'. How can a check result be stale?  
How can nagios tell if the result is stale or fresh, or better yet,  
how can your check plugin determine if the results are stale or not?  
Nagios is designed with the expectation that if it receives a check  
result, it a real, valid and current check result.
