Ummmmmm...  Am I missing something?  In the host definition:

max_check_attempts 60
notification_interval 0

The max_check_attempts should be about 10 minutes, and a
notification_interval of 0 will make it alert once only.  Isn't
that's what's desired?  If so, why mess with escalations (honest
question)?
