Redundancy...bad?

[Marc Powell]

I was wondering how that would work. It's my understanding that nagios
pretty much stores all it's 'working knowledge' in RAM and the
information that it dumps to the logs or DB is strictly for the use of
the CGI's and in the event of an unscheduled restart of the program
(i.e. crash).
