I ended up figuring it out myself finally. In order to accomplish this you need to set up PuppetDB. Then you point all masters to PuppetDB as the inventory service and Puppet Dashboard will pull from there instead of the master directly. Of course, in order to point multiple masters at PuppetDB you need to have a central CA. In my case the nodes connecting to my second master didn't have direct access to the CA so I had to set up apache with passenger and proxy my CA requests to the central CA. Now everything works and I'm getting facts for all machines in my dashboard.
