If someone wants to read what I am referring to with the status CGI
issue, here's a blurb from the documentation:
Even though no notifications will be sent about
the individual elements, you’ll still get a visual display of the
individual host or service status in the
status CGI. This will be useful for pinpointing the source of problems
within the cluster in the future.

I guess maybe I need to get over the fact that its red in the status
cgi.  It needs to check the health of this service regardless.  I can
just see my NOC always looking at these 'down' services.
