I don't have a problem with a lot of Booleans, as long as they're
reasonable. I don't have an objective guide as to when they become
unreasonable, but we don't want to have conditionals that have little
security value (i.e. it doesn't really hurt if its allowed, but not
needed).

This should probably be optional due to the last two calls.

I'd probably merge all of these into nagios_can_check_network.

This should probably be optional too.
