Nagios check dependent on second nagios server
We have a dual Nagios server setup. One is setup for internal server monitoring on our LAN, while the second Nagios server is hosted externally and is used for external checks only such as URL and ping checks form the WAN side.
I was wondering if there is any way to setup cross dependencies between the 2 servers so if an internal alert for apache down goes off. Our external Nagios server does not start alerting for websites being down.

If can, is there any website that provide comparison for both of them?

SYNOPSIS
nagircbot [-CdeHmRStxX] [-A REGEX] [-c CHANNEL] [-f FILE] [-F HOST[:PORT]] [-i INTERVAL] [-I INTERVAL] [-k KEYWORD] [-n NICK] [-N PREFIX]
[-p PASSWORD] [-P FILE] [-s HOST[:PORT]] [-T LIST] [-u USERNAME] [-U NAME] [-z USER]
DESCRIPTION
nagircbot is an IRC bot that reads Nagios' status information and emits alerts to an IRC channel. It can filter alerts based on severity
(CRITICAL, HARD, SOFT, and/or UNKNOWN) or by regular expression. It can connect to IRC servers protected by password or SSL, and can
optionally set the topic to the current Nagios status.
OPTIONS
-A REGEX
Filter (omit) lines that match a basic regular expression.
-c CHANNEL
Channel to connect to, including the leading "#" (default: "#nagircbot").
-C Use colors in IRC messages.
-d Do not fork into the background.
-e Use encryption (SSL) when connecting to the IRC server.
-f FILE
Path to Nagios' status.log, indicated by the 'status_file' parameter in nagios.cfg (default: "/usr/local/nagios/var/status.log").
-F HOST[:PORT]
Retrieve status.log over the network. If no port is specified, the default is 33333.
-H Only announce alerts in 'HARD' state. This is the default.
-i INTERVAL
Nagios alert check interval, in seconds (default: 60).
-I INTERVAL
How often to announce Nagios global status in the channel, in seconds. Specify an interval of 0 (the default) to disable. Do not
specify an interval smaller than the alert check (-i) interval.
-k KEYWORD
Keyword for the channel (default: no keyword).
-m Display status information for an alert in separate IRC messages instead of combining on a single message.
-n NICK
IRC nick to use (default: "nagircbot").
-N PREFIX
Prefix for all in-channel IRC messages.
-p PASSWORD
IRC server password.
-P FILE
Write PID file.
-R Only announce CRITICAL/UNKNOWN alerts.
-s HOST[:PORT]
IRC server to connect to. If not specified, the default is "localhost:6667". If no port is specified, the default is 33333.
-S Also announce alerts in 'SOFT' state.
-t Set the channel topic to an alert summary.
-T LIST
Enable checks to see if Nagios is still running. Send 'check' in a private message to invoke the check. Accepts a comma-seperated
list (without spaces) with the following elements: max_time_last_host_update, max_time_oldest_host_update, max_time_last_host_check,
max_time_oldest_host_check, max_time_last_service_check, max_time_oldest_service_check, and max_time_oldest_next_service_check.
-u USERNAME
Username to log into the IRC server as.
-U NAME
IRC "real" or full name (default: "nagircbot").
-x status.log is in Nagios 1.0 format.
-X status.log is in Nagios 2.0/3.0 format. This is the default.
