Failover & passive checks

[Jason Martin]

Has anycome come up with a reliable way of implementing passive
checks that properly handles a Nagios failover?

I'm looking at using SEC to send passive checks about syslog to
Nagios. How should I go about handling the situation where my
Nagios host fails over to another machine? send_nsca doesn't
have any capability to attempt to detect if Nagios is running on
the destination host when it transmits, and the 'failure' might
not be as simple as a machine going down.

The failover machine is in another datacenter, so a simple
IP-handoff isn't feasible.   How has everyone else handled this
sort if situation?

Thanks,
-Jason Martin
