Thanks for the fast answer.
Freshenss seems to do the tric, to a point anyway.
I can see if the host services dies now, just like an active check as its down.
However it doesn't report correctly on the host status.
Since freshness last resport option is to ping the host IP adress, and if the
server goes down and are behind a firewall, the ping will just go to that
gateway. Is there any way to "fake" nagios to thinking that the host is down if
some service goes down?
