parent/child pains

[Rossz Vamos-Wentworth]

I guess I'm misunderstanding how this works.  I'm running Nagios 1.2 on 
Debian.

I configured the remote servers to have my local router as their 
parent.  The router status is tested by checking for an internet 
connection from the nagios server.  The idea being when my nagios host 
looses its internet connection I won't receive a ton of notifications.  
I have one of the remote systems monitoring my nagios server just so it 
can alert me when there is a connectivity problem.  This morning the 
nagios server lost its internet connection and queued up a mess of 
alerts for all the remote services it is monitoring.  It couldn't 
actually send them out since that requires an internet connection.  When 
connectivity returned all those "down" alerts went out, followed closely 
by the "Up" alerts.

I did receive the notification from the remote system letting me know my 
nagios server had a problem and recovered, so at least something worked 
right.
