When I want to start nagios I get the following error message.

[root at stats cxxx]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Reading configuration data...

Error: Host 'mail.mdsuk.net' has already been defined

Error: Could not register host (config file

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config
files...

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read
     the HTML documentation on the main and host config files, as well as
the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.


I have the following hosts.cfg file
# Generic host definition template
define host{
        name                            generic-host    ; The name of this
host

enabled
        event_handler_enabled           1       ; Host event handler is
enabled
        flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is enabled
        process_perf_data               1       ; Process performance data
        retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status information

ss program restarts
        retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status

        register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS

- ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
        }

# 'host.name' host definition
define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
