If your template already contains a variable entry you do not need to re-specify it in the host/service definition unless it's changed so your example is correct. Templates would be useless if you had to. With a fully fleshed out template you might only need to specify use, host_name and address in a host definition. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
