Is your nagis machine ip changes all the time ? 
or is it your devices Ip that is changing ?

You do not need to tell nagios to permit the connection . you need to tell the nrpe on all the hosts 
you are checking that the nagios host's ip has been changed and has a new .

As far as i know there is no automated plugin , what you can do is write a script to query the dns 
of your nagios and replace the existing IP with the new result .
