Adding external Hosts

I have a scenario whereby 5 hosts sit behind 1 natted external IP. Is nagios monitoring possible in this scenario?
How does nagios handle remote host monitoring if they cannot be added as individual IP's or hostnames?

Our current monitoring solution is such that everything we want to monitor exists in a template that is then applied to our servers. For Example> Disk checking is configured Drive c through k. If the server has any of those drives they will be checked. If the server does not have some of those drive...
