|My nagios server is telling me that a host is down despite also saying 
|that a service on that host is up !!!!!!
|
|MyServer     Oracle       OK     20-07-2006 18:23:52     0d 0h 48m 44s 
|    1/3     OK - dummy login connected
|    
|                    SSH    CRITICAL     20-07-2006 18:22:26     0d 1h 
|28m 30s     3/3     No route to host
|
|Looking at the host status is says
|
|MyServer    DOWN     20-07-2006 18:25:19     0d 1h 30m 54s     CRITICAL 
|- Host Unreachable (192.168.1.29)
|
|but the ip address for the server is 192.168.1.43, why is it using the 
|wrong address?????????

First off, did you grep for the offending address
in the configs?

Most likely something is hosed in the status file.
When I've had massively weird stuff like this, I
stoped nagios, deleted the offending line (in this
case the one with the bad IP) from the status.sav
file, and restarted nagios.
