Now I feel pretty stupid. I had added -4 to the end of the check_ping 
command to force IP4, however, I didn't realize the Nagios used 
check-host-alive for the host status. I thought it just used the 
results from check_ping. Anyway, adding the -4 to the end of the 
check-host-alive command took care of it.
