Nagios reporting on wrong server for some services

I'm using Nagios (latest stable release) and really love what it does!
Except, I have three hosts installed in hosts.cfg, but for a few of
the services I have set up in services.cfg it's reporting info for all
three based on just one of the servers.

For example, PING and HTTP works fine. I get appropriate, different
info for all three servers for that, and FTP, etc.

But for these services, FREE SPACE, CURRENT USERS, TOTAL PROCESSES,
CURRENT LOAD, it's reporting the same info on all three machines.

Nagios is installed on server A, server B is across the country, and
server C is on the same LAN as A. For those above mentioned four
services, it's reporting the info for the local server A Nagios is
installed on.

I don't get why, when in services.cfg I have it set up correctly for
the three different hosts, and I know it's working fine for other
services like HTTP and PING.

Is there something in command.cfg or checkcommand.cfg?
Actually, looking in checkcommand.cfg I see the commands for like
HTTP:

# 'check_http' command definition
define command{
command_name check_http
command_line $USER1$/check_http -H $HOSTADDRESS$
}

includes $HOSTADDRESS$ while total load has:

# 'check_local_load' command definition
define command{
command_name check_local_load
command_line $USER1$/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
}
and makes no mention of $HOSTADDRESS$
Is it even possible to check those things on a remore server?

Thanks for any help!

Because the former services are remote services, but the latter are
local.

Yes--look into NRPE and NSCA, both addons to Nagios that can provide
what you're looking for.
