Just to be thorough, passive monitoring is also a possibility.
In that case, each of the clients would be configured to send the
service check results to the Nagios server, and would probably
not require any changes to the firewall.

However, I choose to use active monitoring, so I cannot help
with that setup, nor would I necessarily recommend it.
