question about active and passive logic

[Anthony Montibello]

In addition I would add the following differences.(in my opinion)

If enabling both Passive and Active check on a single Service check.
(I usually do this when setting up a new host, or converting an Active check
Config to a Passive check)
I kind of look at that as the Active check is a Backup to the Passive check
I would recomend both the Active and Passive check be configured to give the
same result.
If for some reason the Passive check stoped reporting, THe active check
would try to fetch the data
if unsuccessful then the it goes through the NON-OK logic.

While freshness checking just notify that NO check was recieved.
