I could think of different possibilities.
1.) Try to get a static ip, and bind it to you NIC. You can bind
serveral IPs to one NIC, if you really need an ever-changing IP.
2.) Run nagios on another/virtual machine with fixed ip. (A server, maybe.)
3.) Use check_by_ssh instead of nrpe
4.) Allow the whole DHCP-subnet in the allow_host parameter (potentially
not so secure anymore).
