hello.

i just finished setting up nagios as distributed monitoring and i found a
problem.
we have a backbone switch called BB1.
and we have 2 access switch called A1, A2 which uses uplink to BB1
so this makes both A1,A2 have its parent BB1

and then i prepared 4 dedicated servers for nagios,
first server for central server,
second server for servers under A1,
third server for servers under A2,
fourth server for our switches BB1,A1,A2

in this environment, how can i define parent/child relationship in
distribute nagios server??
i read nagios manual that says "only those services and hosts which are
being monitored directly by the distributed server are defined in the object
configuration file"

i want keep all configuration file for switches only fourth server which is
for dedicated switch monitoring.

when i try to start nagios in second and thrid server, it shows error like
"there is no BB1 parent define in configuration"

thanks for your help.
