Okay here's the minimal config (I'm assuming you already have simple
templates for generic-host and generic-service):

define command{
        command_name    check_dummy
        command_line    $USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$
}
define hostgroup{
  hostgroup_name  test
  alias           test - hosts used for testing
}
define host{
  use             generic-host
  host_name       test
  alias           test - Host used for testing new service checks in Nagios
  address         10.123.123.123
  hostgroups      +test
  parents         localhost
}
define service
  host_name             test
  use                   generic-service
  service_description   test
  check_command         check_dummy!0 "test always succeeds"
}
define service
  host_name             test
  use                   generic-service
  service_description   test
  check_command         check_dummy!0 "test always succeeds"
}



When I run nagios -v against a nagios.cfg which reads this config, I get:

  Warning: Duplicate definition found for service 'test' on host
'test' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/test/services.cfg',
starting on line 1)

which is fair enough as the service is indeed defined twice, but in
the totals at the end I get:

  Total Warnings: 0
  Total Errors:   0

Note this behaves the same whether the second service is defined using
directive "host_name test" or "hostgroup_name test".


hth,

Jim
