Hi all,

	I'm looking for information about how people are handling dual-stack
IPv4/IPv6 machines within Nagios.  Since the host_name field has to be
unique, you can't have two nagios definitions for the same host, but
with difference addresses ...  You can always modify the host_name
slightly to make it unique, but that breaks any plugin that depends on
the host_name.

	I'd like to avoid having to re-define everything in Nagios with an IPv6
focus, but to, instead, merely add a new definition with a v6 address
and have it "just work"...

Thanks,

- --
