Actually, that's not true.  If you have flap detection enabled, it may not notify on
the first successful retry, depending on the history.

It sounds like your other solution's feature was a sort of "fixed" flap detection
that  just assumed that everything was flapping.  The Nagios flap detection
algorithm is much more sophisticated.

Take a look at the docs on flap detection.
