Thanks for the response. After some further digging, I managed to  
track down the problem, although the why and how to fix are still a  
mystery. Apparently what's happening is that every so often nagios  
switches from the expected "CRITICAL" sate to a "warning" state, with  
a status message similar to "PING WARNING - DUPLICATES FOUND! Packet  
loss = 6%, RTA = 574.20 ms". Since I had warning messages disabled for  
this service, I never got that e-mail, but when it switched back to a  
"critical" state on the next check, I do get the critical message. So  
I guess Nagios is working as it should, and it's just a mystery of why  
I am getting that response from the ping when the router port is  
disabled. Thanks again!
