ping

I have 3 machines, all remote IPs and all of them running nsclient++ with remote and local IP addresses:

46.*.*.1/192.168.1.1
46.*.*.2/192.168.1.2
46.*.*.3/192.168.1.3

I want nagios/icinga to remotely ping other local machines to see whether VLAN is working correctly.

Is there a way to tell nagios/icinga to use machine 192.168.1.1 and to ping 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 ? check_ping is pinging only machine defined in host_name from icinga server. Icinga is on completely different ip range 92.*.*.*

Is there a way to do this to see VLAN workes fine?
