Best way to organzie data...

[Aristedes Maniatis]

I am sorry if this repeats an earlier part of this thread, but I'm only 
new on this list. We have a related problem. It seems to stem from the 
fact that Nagios ties all services tightly to the concept of a "host", 
but there are a number of services which don't work in this way.

For example, we might have a web site which is load balanced between 
two hosts. I'd like to associate the nagios service with the URL of the 
site, not the IP address of the machine. So a particular machine could 
be offline, but the web site working fine.

Likewise, I've got some services that check for validity of SSL 
certificates. But which host do I attach them to?

Is there a 'proper' way to set this up in Nagios?
