Changing the Default host check from Ping

We have about 500 servers behind a firewall that we can't ping... we'd like to change the command to reverse the ping coming from the actual host as a work around.

But we have about 3500 servers on the box already that we have metric on etc... Our first thought would be to wipe & re-bulk load with the Host Command reference in place. But my manager doesn't want to do that... So my question is: Is there a way to mass change the Host command on a select 500 servers easily?

Unfortunately . . . not yet. But bulk command changes are something that *may* be available . . . soon?

O.o I hope they "may" use CSV files and not dragging to the right & left :D

Cool, we'll deal with it.
