Yes, that seems like the problem. But the way nagios is setup, I don't think I understand its setup.  I see in my templates a host definition that has these lines:

name          solaris-servers
hostgroups              solaris-server

In the hosts.cfg, services.cfg, and hostgroups file, this definition:

hostgroup_name          solaris-servers
alias                   solaris-servers

It looks the problem is there.  But I'm not sure why.  Please help me out.  Thanks, Marc.

I see that you're applying service monitoring to hostgroups in  
addition to specific hosts. Is it possible that these new servers are  
in the 'solaris-servers' hostgroup or a different hostgroup that  
receives the additional monitoring?
