On our system, we too have a small subset of hosts which cannot be pinged. However, they can be SSH'ed. So, I defined a new test, check-host-alive-ssh which used an SSH connection rather than a ping, and define this as the host_check_command for the hosts in question. This allows Nagios to continue to work as expected.
