feature requests?

[Ethan Galstad]

The best way to submit feature requests is by sending a note to the 
nagios-devel list.

The feature you're requesting alread exists through use of the 
cfg_dir directive in the main config file.  Example:

cfg_dir=<nagiosconfdir>/hosts

will cause Nagios to read all config files (with a .cfg extension) in 
the <nagiosconfdir>/hosts directory.
