The Distributed Monitoring documentation will be useful to you here.  
This is pretty standard fare.

I've done something similar but for a single specific event (service  
acknowledgments), and one-way only. It works but you'll have to be  
careful that you do not create a loop between the two machines in your  
case. I'm not quite sure how you'd be able to distinguish, from  
nagios.log, between a command initiated from the web interface and a  
command initiated from the remote machine. A better alternative would  
be to just designate one of them as the master that everyone uses for  
command entry, IMHO.
