I have several hosts that use an "on" or "off" alias and set ip address for 
each state. This is to make it much easier to monitor the devices based on if 
they are in use. When I try to have Zenoss monitor an aliased host it does not 
because it sees that another device is using this address. Given that the 
processess only should be monitored by the online host that is actualy using 
these processes. 

Example

mail01.domain  192.168.1.2
mail01.domain  192.168.1.3
mailon.domian  192.168.1.4
mailoff.domain  192.168.1.5

When the mailon host is up smtp sholud be monitored and alterting but I really 
do not want to be woken up at 3am because the offline mail server does not have 
SMTP running. 

Is there a way to get these hosts to be correctly monitored based on the state 
of its alias?

Idealy, I want to monitor the processes only on the online host while 
monitoring the rest of the systems based on their correct name.

Thanks
