FWIW, and taking a rather theoretical/long-term stance, coordination
between different Nagios instances is hampered by the fact that there's
no core interface genuinely supporting it:
-- The command file is unidirectional.
-- OC*P covers only a very limited set of topics.
-- The NEB modules API doesn't do remote comm. (Several popular actual
modules filled that gap, though.)
And once a comm channel is available, globally unique IDs (from downtime
IDs to hostnames to whatever) and their relations (as in, is "Foobar
Database Connector" the *same* host for all communicating Nagiosses?
What about host "Nagios"?) would likely be the next issue.

Looking up the core documentation from www.nagios.org leads to
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagi ... mands.html,
which links to http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/,
which redirects to the URL you found. Broken or not, it is *officially*
so.
