You can do anything you like, if you can script it.

So if you can write a Unix script (perl or shell script, probably) that 
calls your "servers alive" tool, and returns the result that Nagios 
expects, then yes, you can do it. If you're lucky, someone else might 
have done it already.

If this doesn't help you, try posting another message with "Servers 
Alive" in the subject. May catch someone's attention.
