check_by_ssh doesn't check the hostname using ssh's config. Perhaps it
should, but looking through the source it looks like the error is coming
from this function, which is actually a common function amongst several
nagios plugins (located in netutils.h):
void
host_or_die(const char *str)
{
if(!str || (!is_addr(str) && !is_hostname(str)))
usage_va(_("Invalid hostname/address - %s"), str);
}
Since it doesn't look like your machine is accessible outside of a local
network, you could set up a proper proxy or vpn or something within the
network with a public hostname. Then use check_by_ssh with the local IP,
e.g. 192.168.0.2
