Passive-only master still pinging

You can always set the check command for the host to execute the check_dummy plugin so that if it doesn't get the result and decides to run an active check check_dummy will force it to be in an up state.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Passive-only master still pinging

I've got a passive-only master that is configured to never execute 
checks.  Yet it's still performing ping checks for some hosts at some 
times.  This is mostly just annoying, but when it decides to ping hosts 
that it doesn't have a route to, pagers go off.

I've got 30k services in this config, so debug isn't really an easy option.

Seeing this on 3.3.1.  Any ideas?

# excerpt from nagios.cfg
accept_passive_host_checks=1
cached_host_check_horizon=15
check_for_orphaned_hosts=0
