shared ip on the same host

[Chuck]

I have several hosts that I am monitoring multiple services on unique ip 
addresses, but only want the single host machine to show up in the status 
map. I have images defined for the host itself and that shows up fine, but 
the map shows question marks for the other services on that machine since i 
had to define hosts for each ip address. I want to eliminate those question 
marks. 

Since they are separate ip addresses for the services, and the services are 
bound to those ips only, i cannot monitor just the host primary ip for it 
all, so I set up separate host names for each ip address.

Is there a way of consolidating this? I dont think a multiple address listing 
under one host would work even if it were allowed simply because there is no 
way to tell the individual tests which address to use for which test.

or did i miss something important here?
