Hello guys,
I have machines that icmp is blocked, so, nagios show the host is down
and the services are up.
I know that I can configure another plugin like check_http instead of
check_host_alive (ping), however the problem is that if apache gong
down nagios will show that the host also is down, and it will not correct.
check dummy will show the result that I specify, so, image the machine
going down. Nagios will keep showing the host is up for example.

It is actually a feature. Active checks of the host were expensive
in older versions of Nagios, so Nagios would correctly assume a
host was up if it was able to succesfully check a sercice
associated with it. That code changed and active checks are now
part of the scheduling logic.
Why don't you want Nagios to check if the host is up?
You can use the check dummy plugin as the host check command and
never check the host but then you will defeat the logic that
Nagios uses when a service goes down to force check the host and
supress the service notifications till it comes back up and
everything gets rechecked.

you can use check_ssh or check that the nrpe deamon is running as the
"host" check, since if either one of those is not responding you have
some issue that require intervention .
