Separate NAG from Web Interface

[Chris Robertson]

One other possiblity would be to store all your service information in a
MySQL database and replicate that to your webserver.  Natively that probably
wouldn't be a whole lot more secure than NFS but with a little work you
should be able to pipe it across SSH and only have MySQL listening on
localhost.

NSCA could possibly do this.  However, this means that you
will also need to set up Nagios on your webserver.

If you do *not* want to set up Nagios on your webserver,
then you'll have to somehow make the cgi's and so on available
to the webserver.  One way would be to use rsync, but that would
have to hit it pretty frequently.  Another way would be to use
NFS.  But you've stated that your webserver is already hardened;
I'm sure you understand the implications of enabling NFS on a
secure host.

Are you sure you don't want to set up a new webserver?
