Freshness checking and a distributed Nagios system.

[Tom Ammon]

Nagios forces active checks to be run when used in conjuction with 
freshness checking, even when active checks for that service are 
disabled. The docs describe it pretty well at 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/distributed.html under the 
"Freshness Checking" section. You have to read it carefully, though.
