Rather than read from local .cfg files, the Nagios daemon would poll a centralized server which would return an xml encoded map of the necessary elements that would normally be contained in the .cfg files. This xml would be consulted in the future if the central server was inaccessible. The reason I favor this approach is that I manage 3000 servers and would like to a have central database store the nagios configs for every distributed nagios client without having to extract the related subset of configs and deliver them to the respective nagios instance. Finally, my question!! Is this possible to achieve through a NEB module? I would rather write this as a discrete module then have to monkey with nagios source.
