Use service dependencies.  Define a 'nagios running' service check for your
distributed server checked every 1 min, and then make all of the passives
depend on this service.  Thus, if the distributed nagios goes belly-up then
this 'nagios running' will go to critical or unknown, and then the service
dependencies will prevent notification on all of the passive services (which
will go stale AFTER the distributed nagios check, if you check that often
enough).
