You could create different config-dirs in your configuration, one for each 
server and just add the directory on that server, that should use the 
configuration from that directory.

server1:
/etc/nagios/objects/server1_configs/ <-- added as config_dir to nagios.cfg
/etc/nagios/objects/server2_configs/
/etc/nagios/objects/other_configs/ <-- added as config_dir to nagios.cfg

server2:
/etc/nagios/objects/server1_configs/
/etc/nagios/objects/server2_configs/ <-- added as config_dir to nagios.cfg
/etc/nagios/objects/other_configs/ <-- added as config_dir to nagios.cfg

Would that be an option?

Greetings,
 Christian
