short time ago i posted the same qustion, without a conclusive
result. 

For the time being we declare the additional interfaces 
as separate hosts and group them as hostgroup

drawback as summarized very clear in a previous answer from somebody
to your mail:

you get a clear structure in the nagios config this way, 
but the ergonomy of nagios GUI is "reduced" due to overloading
( 700 hosts instead of about 150 in our case)

now we rethink, if we "wrap" all plugins, like also suggested in
a previous mail, to reduce the number of hosts in the GUI.

Reason for our first selection:
 
we have not unique sets of interfaces offering services, getting full 
monitoring  and  "just pingable" interfaces.
