This is a good place to start:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html

Basically you want to diagram out the paths to each host/service and
set parents on each host/service that is not directly on the same
network as the nagios monitoring host.  The documentation explains it
pretty well.
