I've done something similar to the below with RT
(www.bestpractical.com/rt/).  I configured another contact called
helpdesk that uses the email address of a configured queue in my RT
system.  I then only send Critical/Warning/Ack's from Nagios to the
helpdesk system.  When related requests are found in the helpdesk system
they are merged into 1 ticket, for example, a Critical HTTP alert on
Host A followed 30 mins later by an Ack from Nagios.  They are merged
and a comment put in either on how it was resolved or current status.
