What the...

[Russell Scibetti]

Your logic is right...service notification will never occur when the 
host also fails.  You will only get host notifications.

Also, can you include what your Log settings are in the nagios.cfg 
(log_initial_states, log_service_retries, etc.)  May be part of the 
logging problem.  Might want to make them all 1 for now to make sure 
everything gets logged, if they're not all set to 1 now.
