The CGI module is just an Apache/HTTPD addon code module, and Apache can
be easily bound to single IP on a multi-homed system using VirtualHost
containers.

As for the HC modules, the ad-hoc child process fork()/exec() model
makes it difficult, but I would assert that the lack of a standard
argument model for binding/sourcing check traffic is a serious design
flaw.

Actually I would do it using exported environmental variables.

Best solution I imagine (but haven't tested) is to run Nagios inside a
FreeBSD jail.
