I honestly don't know if it will buffer and resend, but at the very 
least, the individual processes will sit there waiting to timeout, which 
dramatically increases your check latency since Nagios has a max process 
limit.  I have a setup where the distributed instances can "self 
promote" if they lose touch with the master, and the timeout issues made 
it completely unreliable because of the increased resolution.

Look into OCP Daemon 
(http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=Detailed%2F2521.html;d=1) 
- it solved my problem.
