If you are a friend of symbolic links, you can do this with my method too: normally, the instances share a common installation of nagios, plugins,...

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> As you see, the sbin of the two instances point to ~/core/nagios/sbin which in fact is ~/core/nagios-3.0.3/sbin. The core/nagios always points to the "default" release. Now if you want to upgrade the instance_os_linux to use the brandnew Nagios-4.0 Alpha, you would directly link from the instance directory to the new release.
