Just curious. How will this work if you have something like 5 hosts in line in a parent-child relation? The fastest way would be starting from nagios and work your way to the downed host as the average latency on a check on a live host is much faster then the timeout you get on downed hosts. Considere the map as shown on http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/statusmap-20061219.png If nagios detects the ipv6 router in the lab to be down and it has to work it's way up it has to deal with the timeouts on nlams04 and nlams05. If it starts polling the other way around it only has to deal with the host check latency of the switch and the timeout of nlams05.
