I think that if you would change your nagios setup you can have what
you want with nagios.

Nagios can test the route to a foreign server and will not complain
about a remote servers services if a gateway or router between
nagios and that foreign server is offline. You just have to tell
nagios where those remote servers are.

just my 2¢
