What's your goal in doing this?  One thing you can do is add a service_d
and use the check_cluster plugin so that service_d will be warning if
any of the other services aren't ok.

Nagios is designed to be able to try to figure out if its a service or
host problem and notify the proper person.  It can be very powerful when
used that way, and what you suggest goes against that.  I'm having a
hard time figuring out what your intent could be that would make you
want the hosts to have a warning state.
