distributed monitoring and passive host checks?

[Wolfgang Fellner]

hi list,

i have running distributed monitoring setup since some weeks. all works
good. the only problem i have is the host-state:
because of security-reasons i have no way to connect to the hosts from
the central server. trought this the central server doesn't recognize if
a host is down. and so the nagios-instance on the central-server sends
critical-notifications for all services of the down host.
does anybody know a solution for this problem?

kind regards,
    wmf
