I still maintain this is wrong.  If you are trying to set up redundant 
Nagios servers for failover purposes, the statusmap is completely in 
correct for the second server, especially if it is located in a completely 
different area.  I think it would be much better to be able to tell the 
nagios servers what its parents are as well as the parents of all the other 
systems, and then draw a universe-centric view based upon that information, 
so *any* nagios server would be correct.
