Does anyone have an HA setup for Nagios that works?

I'm thinking of creating a NEB module that will link two Nagios setups, and replicate over all status changes, config changes, downtime, comments, etc etc and then set the 'standby' Nagios to be checks/notifications disabled when in standby mode, and enabled when in active mode.  Then put the two behind a failover load balancer (F5, Foundry or apache reverse proxy).

However this would be too much work if someone else has already found an equivalent solution.

I've looked at Merlin but it doesn't seem to do what I'm after (and the documentation is practically nonexistant - much the same as the NEB API documentation, in fact).  Mod_gearman lets me have redundant checks and replicate *active* checks, but not commands, downtime or passive checks.

Does anyone out there have a workable way to get an active/standby or active/active Nagios setup?  Would be interested in hearing all ideas...
