Do you have the expectation of Nagios guessing your IP schema, and
host names? There is a way of using nmap, and a script to build a
basis for you.

Services can be applied to hostgroups. For example:
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name myunixhostgroup
}
define host {
register 0
name unix_host
hostgroups myunixhostgroup
[..]
}
define host {
use unix_host
host_name unix01
address 172.16.0.2
}
define service {
service_descript PING
check_command check_ping
hostgroup_name myunixhostgroup
}
This reduces the definition of the host down to 3 lines, you're using
a template for all your linux hosts, and the service is applied to the
entire group. Hope that gives you a head start.
