There's a check_cluster in the latest Nagios-plugins distribution that
will allow you to do what you want.

1. Disable notifications for your services (Ex:"notification_options n")
2. Create a check_cluster checkcommand and service and use the
$SERVICESTATEID:host_name:service_description$ macros to fill-in the
service status.
