I was pondering about this sort of thing the other day when I was
updating our bank holiday list.  I think what's really needed is an
equivalent of ntp, but for bank holidays so you have have a central
repository of bank holiday information and have any servers that are
interested poll it once in a while.  That would be nothing to do with
Nagios per se of course, but would be useful to Nagios and lots of
other applications.

Maybe someone has already done such a thing and I've not heard of it yet?
