I believe we do, but it wouldn't have helped in this case (I've done a bit
more digging)

Half the notifications came from the external nagios instance on noc2,
while the xen6/db alerts came from the internal nagios instance. Another
reason why I like the current setup and don't think we should change a
thing :)

Also, the UNKNOWN alerts weren't that bad, they were a precursor to the
box having to restarted, only in this case was the up/down alerts a little
useless.  However, I'd sooner keep them as it because otherwise we run the
risk of not noticing a box down immediately and get everyone under the
moon asking "why can't I access fedoraproject.org... it's down your OS
can't be that good".
