I had considered this as a suggestion as well but felt it was messy due to the need to duplicate all the host and service definitions on both machines but with different names plus a third definition for each for the cluster check. Templates should make it easy mandate which definition was active/passive on each machine but the duplication just wouldn't scale well IMHO. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
