object inheritance - overwrite custom variables?

[Anders Kvist]

Hey

I have tried to use object inheritance in my nagios config, but a few 
things are bugging me:

I have a linux-server which uses generic-server and sets up default 
settings for all my linux servers. I have some templates for tasks, in 
this case: storage, kvm and hardware. They only add the hostgroup (and 
gets services this way) and have some custom variables. Here is an example:

define host{
        name                             storage-server
        hostgroups                       +storage-servers
        register                         0

        __PROCS_WARN                     500
        __PROCS_CRIT                     750
        }

A kvm host is defined with 'use linux-server,kvm-server,hardware-server' 
and storage host with 'use linux-server,storage-server,hardware-server'. 
Here is an example of a storage host:

define host{
         use             linux-server,storage-server,hardware-server
         host_name       storage01.domain.tld
         alias           storage01
         address         xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
}


Hostgroups work fine (even tough the lists of hostgroups on a host in 
the webinterface isn't in the same order as the use-line), but custom 
variables doesn't. I have a __PROCS_WARN and __PROCS_CRIT in 
linux-servers with a default number of max processes before warning and 
critical - this needs to be overwritten for kvm-server and 
storage-server, because they have more processes - but the one from 
linux-server is used in both cases...

What do I need to do to make this work as expected?
