Well, FWIW, one complaint I've heard about using NEB to hook up nagios 
and databases is that NEB can't read nagios config data out of the 
database, just store it. That's certainly not a problem in my 
environment, and it hasn't stopped me from using NEB to store status 
data in postgres..... but it's an issue other people have raised, and I 
don't see a solution short of hacking on nagios proper.
