service stale at the first try.

[FXCM - Mark Lin]

Hi group, 
    I have a host with check_ping service check.  The host is unreachable by nagios, that I know.  The problem is nagios only did a single attempt for the service and it stales.  Here's the configuration for that service.  check_wanping is just a check_ping with modified parameters to allow longer latency.  I hope you see the problem here, if nagios stop at the first attempt, I would never the notification, which is not good.  

TIA for any help.
Mark
