Multiple interfaces on on host (single representation)

[Nick Jennings]

Hi Everyone,

  I'm setting up Nagios on a new server group, these servers all have 1 
public IP and one private (internal network) IP. For the basic "up/down" 
checks I'd like to ping the public IP, check for the services which is 
provides, etc. all on the public IP.

  However for any NRPE stuff, I'd like to bind it to the internal IP 
address and run all the checks on the local network. The problem is I 
don't know how to keep from specifying 2 host definitions for each 
server (ie. an external definition and internal definition). I don't 
know if it can be done, but I'd like to have one record per server, just 
for clarity and to avoid confusion.

  Does this make sense? Can it be done in a reasonable way? Or should I 
just bite the bullet and make two host definitions per server?

Thanks for any help,
-Nick
