If you need some help understanding which configuration files to edit and how they all fit together, then I highly recommend the book "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth pub.

If it is a server then presumably it has some other port open? For
example if it's an email server, you may be able to use check_smtp as
your host check. It really depends what is available to you, and what
will give you a check which is closest to answering the question "Is
this host 'up'?".
You will need to change the check_command directive in the host
definition for that host, and you might need to tweak the command
definition too.
For example, your new host definition might look like this:
define host{
use generic-host
host_name server1
alias server1 - email server - pings disabled
address 10.10.11.12
hostgroups +servers
parents router3
check_command check_smtp!-w 5 -c 8
}
and your check_smtp command definition might look like this:
# 'check_smtp' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_smtp
command_line$USER1$/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}
