If CompanyA has contactgroup A with Contacts 1, 2 and 3, and the
hostgroups/services related to CompanyA are configured to use CompanyA's
contactgroup, when someone logs in as Contacts 1, 2 or 3, they will only
see CompanyA's hosts/hostgroups/services. As long as none of CompanyB's
contacts are in any of CompanyA's contactgroups (or in cgi.cfg
authentication statements), they will not see CompanyA's information.
Everyone uses the same URL, with no /company[a-z] - its all determined by
who they login as.
This is a long way of saying what Jan wrote, which is also a nicer way of
saying that this is all in the documentation. Might take a little looking
and/or thinking, but its there.
So, you do not need multiple Nagios - you need properly planned and
configured contacts, contactgroups, hostgroups, etc.
