You want to set up a central Nagios server, and push your check results to it? Or you want to forward alerts/notifications to another? If it is the latter, what is the purpose? If it is the former, you can use something like NSCA to do this:

I'm still not sure exactly what you are trying to do. Are you just looking to use passive checks to send to a "master" Nagios server? If so, each remote "Slave" server will need to be configured individually with the NSCA key and IP address, as well as whatever checks re being run on that remote machine.

You're still going to want to follow the steps outlined in my post above. This also has more detail:
