Flap detection.. and notification?

[Ethan Galstad]

This is an old post, but I've kept it on my to-respond-to list, as it 
will be implemented in 2.0.  There are some details to be worked out 
on how to do this.  I'll be taking this discussion to the nagios-
devel list.  See my post there for more info.
