Sounds like you need to monitor the clustered IP instead of the
individual IP addresses, and check for various services and their
states there.  The server will react, and respond accordingly because
the cluster services will handle the requests.  That being said, you'd
probably still want something to monitor the cluster services
themselves to see if there was a failure.

Check cluster will take the results of several hosts/services and
respond based on the thresholds defined.  For example, if you have
several web servers that form a web farm, each server is checked
independantly.   The check_cluster plugin takes the output of the
service checks, and gives you back an OK, WARNING, CRITICAL based on
your threshold.  See:

  http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/clusters.html

A similar example is provided there.
