>The host already has a default route.
Hi Greg, What I mean to say is if you have one IP for cluster communications (without a default route) and another IP (your roaming IP for nagios which has the default route). You can implement this with a second interface card or subinterface and existing interface using dot1q encapsulation, if your switch infrastructure supports it, for which you do not assign a default route. You do this on both servers for the specific reason of checking that nagios is running on both hosts. It's simply a management interface. If your passive system(s) detect that the active nagios host is experiencing problems (which you can do in a number of ways with both local and remote checks on the secondary IP address) it can take on the role of the active by reconfiguring the primary interface card with the IP of the failed device.
