Can passive results cause active check rescheduling?

[Craig Stewart]

Jim,

I do use freshness checking to get the desired behaviour.

I don't want the active check to run unless they need to.  If it (the
central server) is doing active service checks, one of the main reasons
to run a distributed setup, distribution of resource requirements, gets
tossed.  Admittedly, in a set up where the hosts are being "double
monitored" it will speed the discovery of events and clears.  Of course
that causes "problems" where the NMS gets blamed for causing too many
"false alarms."  I'm sure many people here are familiar with this concept.

The main reason I was looking at this was to make  someone who doesn't
understand at what he's looking, and with the title director after his
name happy.  Trying to find a technical fix to a non-problem.
