host_port objects - Enhancement Request

[Paul M. Dubuc]

I think this would be a very nice enhancement.  Many of the services we run 
are associated with a host and a port.  We're using the "service-based ports" 
solution that you describe.  Since Nagios requires that the combination 
host_name and service_description be unique, we often have to embed a port 
name in the service_description.  Since the port is also passed as an argument 
to the check_command, it ends up being defined in two places and the 
service_description has to be changed when we change the port being used for 
the service.  Having to configure a separate service for each port on a given 
host also complicates configuration changes.
