Sorry, you're right and I apollagize.
My doubt is really simple. I've got a monitoring distributed/recursive
topology like it i've already explained in a previous thread:
---
- root A (this will receive and web publish all the incoming passive
submits. NSCA)
-- root B (this will receive, web publish his results and re-submit them
no root A. NSCA / OSCP)
--- clientB:x (this is a standar client submiting to root B, OSCP with
send_nsca)
-- root C (analogous to root B)
--- client C:x (analogous to client B:x)
----
So the problem is, for example:
Since root A can't reach clientB:x, i'm dependent from root B to obsess
the passive checks submited by client B:x directly to root A. So far so
good, and I confirm this topology works in pefection. But i've got one
problem in root A, since the checks for client B:x are received
passively trough root B and this client is unreachable from root A's
network, I had to redefine the check_command to a "dummy OK" check that
enables the client's services to be checked, otherwise the host would
get stated has DOWN and service checks disabled. But what I really
needed and is exacly the problem I am having, is that root B, that
actually can reach and check actively (with check_command) the clientB:x
status, also notified root A for this status.
If this is possible, root A, like the service checks, will be also
capable to determine the clientB:x status trough the root B submits.
My english is not very well, but I hope I was clear, please ask me to
try to explain better if it wasn't so clear.
Hope anyone could lead me here please.
Tnks,

Perhaps no one has done what you are trying, you haven't supplied enough information to answer or, more likely, what you're trying to accomplish isn't clear at all. I for one have no idea what your desired end-result is from the information above or how it differs from the documented parenting/network reachability logic that is already incorporated into Nagios.
