<div>I am sure there are many ways to accomplish this,</div>
<div>the method you proposed looks ok to me, </div>
<div>However shouldn't security should be thought of first if your sending over the internet as opposed to behind your firewall.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Other suggestions may include looking into </div>
<div>check_by_ssl (Although I never tried this)</div>
<div>NRPE (which should support encription)</div>
<div>NC_NEt (using passive checks and setting up external NSCA and encription)</div>
<div>Setting up a remote Nagios server at the client site (it does not need to be a new server with fast processor for only a few hosts) then VPN it to your Nagios host.</div>
