Adding some more:

In http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html, "Freshness
Checking" section, you should use check_dummy rather than some custon
check script. Not only it will be much faster, it's also easier as you
can set the arguments directly in Nagios:

define command{
command_name service-is-stale
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_dummy 3 "UNKNOWN: Service
results are stale"
}

Although I personally do "check_dummy $ARG1$ "$ARG2$"" and set the
arguments from the check command; that way I have control over what
should be returned (WARNING,CRITICAL or UNKNOWN).

V2 can be modified as well...

- -----
If I create a precache object file (nagios -pv) and compare it to the
object.cache (same config, created with "nagios -d"), it match but the
date in the commented header. However if I activate it (nagios -xud) the
objects.cache gets all reversed and objects are shown in reverse
alphabetical order in the cgi. I won't have much use for that yet, but I
tried it that's my results (i guess that's not expected)...
