"Multi homed hosts", Event history in database

[Michael Arndt]

Hello *

I) has anyone a good proposal for monitoring multi-homed
   hosts ?
   
   AFAIK, the solution proposed in the FAQ has a drawback:

   -plugins have to "learn" how to interprete a list of IP Addresses

  Thats easy for perlies, but would mean modifying every 
  binary plugin source (not good with respect to upgrades) ?
   
   goal: monitoring many multihomed hosts, some offering
         services on three or more interfaces
   
  our Default: 
  configure each IF as separate "host", then create hostgroups ...
  drawback: many hosts in the GUI view ... 

  Is it possible to modify macros "on the fly" similar
  to apache rewrite rules ?

II) storing events in external DB using event handlers:
    
   has anyone using this feature implemented a cgi, 
   that shows up those database entries back in nagios ?

   we use global event handlers to store all events to db

TIA
Micha
