Ok, I see now.  So, you might need an intelligent version of
staleservice.sh, or equivalent.  The script would first check to see
whether the local Nagios is idle.

If so, return 0 OK.  Else, if the local Nagios is active, return 2
Critical.

You could determine active/idle by a lock file, or some such, or by
screen-scraping extinfo.cgi.
