Michael,

This information is stored in the status.dat file as part of the running configuration
from "mon1".  If mon2 is actually running, I'd recommend sending an external command to
that running instance to disable notifications.

See

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=7


You could then run the enable notifications command at some point when you need it to act
as the real server
