As a quick thought, you could write a simple Bash/PHP/whatever script to grep the response for the "ok" flag (or warning flag) - or even a zero process count.
I don't know how Nagios would take over, but if it was a simple case of the slave doesn't run Nagios until the primary goes down, then your shell script, upon encountering a zero process count from the master, could fire up Nagios on the slave - once it detects the primary Nagios is up again, it could kill off the secondary? Just a few thoughts. Andy.
