Try using templates and hostgroups<br>
Templates will allow you to use a central base definition to the service<br>
or host .<br>
<a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html" target="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectinheritance.html</a><br>
<br>
you can assign a service to a hostgroup and thus all host in the group<br>
will have the service checked on them.<br>

Doubtless there are other web-based configuration front-ends for Nagios around as well...<br>
