Nothing within nagios specifically. I can think of two solutions off  
the bat though --

	1) Create a service check/plugin that tests for this condition  
specifically. How do you know that the issue you describe is the  
cause? Translate that to a plugin. Make that test the parent of all  
your other hosts or a service dependency if the problem shows itself  
only as service check failures.
	2) If you can detect the problem reliably using a combination of  
specific host/service checks you have already, you could use  
check_cluster as a parent or service dependency as above. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/clusters.html 
.
