[Puppet Users] Multiple Nagios Servers

Hello,

I''ve been trying to build multiple Nagios servers using Puppet
(2.6.12),
with no luck.  I''ve got a nagios::server class that includes:

  include nagios::server::commands
  include nagios::server::contacts
  include nagios::server::contactgroups
  include nagios::server::timeperiods
  include nagios::server::servicegroups
  include nagios::server::hostgroups

and then it does it''s collection by running all the Nagios_command
<<| |>>,
Nagios_contactgroups <<| |>>, etc.

In the contactgroups.pp manifest, for example, I have something like:

  @@nagios_contactgroup {
    "foo-admins_${hostname}":
      contactgroup_name => ''foo-admins'',
      alias             => ''foo-admins'',
      members           => ''sysadmin1, sysadmin2'';
  }

My thinking was that by including the _${hostname} in the resource name,
that it wouldn''t cause conflicts between servers.  However, when I run
nagios::server on more than one system, I get err: Failed to apply catalog:
Parameter alias failed: foo-admins can not create alias foo-admins: object
already exists.

Everything seems to be working on the @@nagios_host and @@nagios_service
resources, which include $hostname in their resource names.

Any help greatly appreciated.
