Revisiting distributed monitoring

Hi folks.

When last I posted I was working on submitting passive checks from a
distributed box to a central box. I have followed along with other posts
which may have some information on this though I still need some help to
clarify my understanding...

The question is, if execute_service_checks = "0" on the central box and
is set to "1" on the distributed box then only the distributed box
should check the services or other things I am wanting to check... Is
this correct? 

I went through the services.cfg file on the server and made sure
"active_checks_enabled" is set to "0" on the central box and "1" on the
distributed box. I also made sure the "passive_checks_enabled" is set to
"1" on the central box and "0" on the distributed box.

The problem I am experiencing is that I can shutdown the distributed box
and the central box will still check things out... BTW, I have the 2
boxes on a LAN for testing.

Thanks for any and all pointers!
