I should have been more specific. This is useful for the
check_host_alive that is the actual physical box. It will report OK if
either IP responds.

So when I have 2 IPs on a box, I set up 3 hosts:

Parent: 10.0.0.10,10.0.0.11
Sib1 10.0.0.10
Sib2 10.0.0.11

Then I run check_ping and the check_host_alive against parent, so if the
hardware dies, I only get one host down notification.

In my case, say Sib1 is the public port of a web server and Sib2 is the
private part. So I might define service checks for the child hosts as
follows:

Sib1: check_ping, check_http
Sib1: check_snmp (use to check load, CPU utilization, open network
connections, etc)

Hope that is a little clearer.

BTW, please try and keep followups on list.
