Great idea Jason, id thought about looking into someway to do this
previously in a previous position.  They were using netsaint_statd so
it was just to automate updates of that, however im now using nrpe and
the required plugins locally on each machine, a way to push out
updates to all monitored machines would be a great timesaver.

Perhaps this could be linked into nrpe which already accepts
connections from the central/remote nagios boxes?

Would save having yet another plugin/extra to install on each machine!
