Distributed monitoring

[Fred Im]

you say that you have set up distributed monitoring, but that it just keeps
trying to check the hosts from behind the firewall?  in your hosts.cfg what
check_command did you use for those passive hosts?  if you are using the
standard check_host_alive, it won't work from behind the firewall (most
likely), and you either have to use a "dummy check" (mine reports status ok, so
it's not perfect) or come up with something more creative (like checking the
status log for a passive check that does report status, like a ping, but then,
that was more than i cared to set up at the time...)
