Let me get this right , you want the slave to report to a master , but
that master is a "pass-through" slave to another server which is the
final master ?
Why not just send to the final master and the other server as an easier
way ?
You can add the send line in the send_nsca script to submit the data to
another server and that way you get the data on both servers , and
adding the other slaves to the final server is not that complicated .
