host notification issues

[mchoekst at mtu.edu]

hey guys-
   i have a problem that i wanted to put an entire computer lab (24 PCs) 
under one host in nagios, and have a ping command for each machine as a 
service of the host.  i wrote a new ping command that uses the 
$SERVICEDESC$ variable, and then i just use the hostname of the PC for 
the service description.

anyway, the issue is that when a notification gets sent out, i get a 
notice that the host (lab) is DOWN, as opposed to what i want which 
would be it to say '$SERVICEDESC$ is down' or something of the sort. 
should i just disable notifications for the host?

any suggestions would be helpful.  thanks
