Disabling a host from all checks

[Alex]

Hi,

I have a nagios-3.4.4 system on fc17 that's working properly. I
physically removed a server without scheduling downtime or indicating
to nagios to disable all checks.

Now that the server has been removed, I'm receiving these constant
alerts saying the host is down and "connection refused" on all
services.

How can I remove this host from nagios checks without having to edit
the configuration file and removing all references to the hostname in
all of them?

I'm hoping there's an easier way. If it was possible, I'd put the host
back into production, let nagios check all the services, then mark the
system to not check this host, but I can't.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
