Nagios from master/slave to chained configuration

[Assaf Flatto]

Let me get this right , you want the slave to report to a master , but 
that master is a "pass-through" slave to another server which is the 
final master ?

Why not just send to the final master and the other server as an easier 
way ?

You can add the send line in the send_nsca script to submit the data to 
another server and that way you get the data on both servers , and 
adding the other slaves to the final server is not that complicated .
