No, you don't need to. A single install of nagios can monitor
thousands of hosts and services (providing the hardware resources are
there).

You've either encountered a never-before-seen bug or you have a
genuine error in your configuration files. Please post the template
definition and a host definition that references it. Please post an
'ls -l' of the config files and the results of 'egrep "^cfg_" /usr/
local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'.
Also try adding a dummy host in the same file that you have the
template defined --
define host{
use linux-server ; Name of host
template to use
host_name test-host
alias test-host
address 1.1.1.1
contact_groups nobody
}
