Unfortunately, naemon can not do this out of the box, yet - the naemon 
workers give roughly the same advantage as mod_gearman when you only 
have one monitoring host, but when you have several, you still need an 
addon to distribute the checks.

Fortunately, members of the naemon team are the maintainers of no less 
than two different solutions to achieve this - you can either use Sven's 
mod_gearman2, or Andreas' merlin. Easiest for you, as a former user of 
mod_gearman1, is probably mod_gearman2.
