Since the threshold check is done by the plugin, rather than by Nagios
itself, you *could* write a plugin capable of this.  Pass it a time period
and two sets of thresholds...  however it wold of course require writing a
modified plugin (or a wrapper for existing plugins?)

Something like:
wrapper -p "check_thingy -H $HOSTNAME$ -c %CRITICAL% -w %WARN%" -t
1800-0800,12,5 -t 0800-1800,50,10 

Anyone else feel like writing this?

I already have wrappers that changes return status (one to negate, one to
make crit->warn, etc etc).  I'll post something here if I every get around
to makin it generally useful.
