Yes - I have done this, I created a new plugin that takes monitoring data and mails
it to another machine where it is injected into nagios. It works well, I have
been using it for a year or so.

I announced it to little interest, I'll check out what I have and put it up somewhere.
I may be part way though an upgrade of what it does, I can't remember since it is
some time since I have tinkered with it.
