I have a Nagios setup that is monitoring multiple Windows servers, workstations and Cisco switches on a network.
We are planning to add a second network interface to one of these Windows 2008 servers, and have a small network that is separated from our main LAN. This network will have a switch and a couple of workstations.
Will it be possible for Nagios to monitor this network? I was wondering if there is an agent that I can install on the Windows 2008 server(with two network interfaces) and then route all my checks through it? The Nagios server is located at a remote location so adding an additional network interface to it and plugging it to the separate LAN switch is not an option here.

You could configure the Windows server as a router between the two lan and insert static routes in Nagios server and other-network's server if they have already a default gateway.
