I honestly don't know if it will buffer and resend, but at the very least, the individual processes will sit there waiting to timeout, which dramatically increases your check latency since Nagios has a max process limit. I have a setup where the distributed instances can "self promote" if they lose touch with the master, and the timeout issues made it completely unreliable because of the increased resolution. Look into OCP Daemon (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2521.html;d=1) - it solved my problem. -- Sean McAfee System Engineer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
