At the moment, with distributed monitoring with NSCA, you have to have the 
service defined on both icinga-servers.

This gives a lot of overhead when creating new services. Is it possible to 
define a host or hostgroup on the master server that will automatically and 
dynamically display and update hosts on the icinga-core web UI regardless of 
what service it receives from the secondary icinga-server?

If I have a service that sends a check to the master server that is not 
pre-defined on the master server, it will ignore it and the logs will just say 
it ignored it because the service was not defined. Same if I don't have a host 
pre-defined on the master server.

I am alright with creating just a host-file to define an IP and a name + alias 
for a host, but having to redefine upto 20 services for a host with check_dummy 
,et.c. seems a bit unnecessary.

Is it possible to somehow configure Icinga to accept any/all hosts and services 
that comes through external commands or will there be a future release for this 
function?
