Comment:

 >  Regarding the host/address hack, I don't think we'll need that. We can
 simply put in the public DNS name, rather than the host name.

 > anarcat, can you review these changes and deploy two checks for the two
 hosts, ideally labeled as "colchicifolium/collector" and
 "corsicum/collector", so that I can quickly notice which one I need to
 fix?

 well that's the thing: service checks are attached to hosts here, and
 right now the hostnames are colchicifolium and corsicum - the "collector"
 and "collector2" names do not exist in nagios. so we can either:

  1. add the collector/collector2 hosts (and you lose the
 colchicifolium/corsicum reference)
  2. add a collector2 service (and you still don't have the
 colchicifolium/corsicum reference)
  3. add the service to the colchicifolium/corsicum hosts, but then you
 need to fix the check to be able to bypass DNS, as I said

 Which one will it be? :)
