check_period host - service inheritance

[mlrtime3]

I've seen some old threads in the nagios-users group but nothing recent
so I thought I'd bring it up again.

I have a use case to have a single service defined for 1000's of
different hosts with up to 50-100 different check_period times.

The only way to do this now is to create a different service with each
check_period.  To do this, I would need to create 50-100 different
service definitions for each check_period.

It makes much more sense for the service to inherit the hosts
check_period value and use this for the service.  This allows me to only
define one service.

Does anyone know of a way to get this to work, or has anyone created a
patch for 3.2.x to do this?

Thanks,
mlr
