Configuring Multihomed Host

[Greg Vickers]

Daniel,
I have done just this and configured a host definition per NIC on the 
server. You can then test for the same service on each NIC (through each 
different subnet). Config follows:

Host config:

define host{
    host_name    janeway-220
    alias        Janeway subnet 220
    address      xxx.xxx.220.xxx
    parents      upstream_router
    use          generic-template-host
    }

define host{
    host_name    janeway-23
    alias        Janeway subnet 23
    address      xxx.xxx.23.xxx
    parents      upstream_router
    use          generic-template-host
    }


For the hostgroups for these hosts:

define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name       Fred
    alias                Fred as well
    contact_groups       test-group
    members              janeway-220, janeway-23
    }

And the service:

define service{
    hostgroup_name       fred-servers
    service_description  Test for presence of Fred
    check_command        check_nt!The_Service_Formerly_Known_As_Fred
    use                  generic-template-service
    }


Hope this helps,
Greg
