Hmm, very good question.  

What you are asking is not so common :-)
I think you should use passive checks from your monitoring server, 
and dedicate a distributed server on a system that will only be used 
for this particular need. (i mean the use of nsca).

In that case, the distributed server will run nagios, you will
parallellize all checks, and set inter_check_delay_method to 'd' or 
the intervall of your choice.

I already set up distributed monitoring, but never in a case like this.
So this is only an idea, i'm not sure it will make your wish come true
:)

Hope it *will* help
