This is one of the situations for which passive checks are recommended.
Check in the docuemntation that comes with nagios regarding passive
checks and they'll mention an example situation (briefly) that is like
what you mention. Basically, set any services you would like checked as
passive and have the hosts themselves send to the nagios server.
