feature request: passive check source address

[Thomas Guyot-Sionnest]

You could try with tcpserver (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html)

Instead of running NSCA directly you run can a script that use the
environment variables set by tcpserver to log to a file or syslog, then the
script exec to nsca.
