If service fails, check ping before sending a notification

[Jacob F Larsen]

Is it possible to do this:
If a service fails, check if we can ping the host before sending a 
notification about every service.

The reason is that one of our servers were unreachable this night, and we 
all got a message for every service about this.

I know that I can set every service to be dependant on ping, but what if 
Nagios checks 4 services that fails before it discovers that ping has also 
failed?
