Host check notification problem

Actually, I don't think (memory late at night?) that you should be getting
service notifications at all during the host downtime.   This tells me that
your host is going down, then coming back up or going into an unknown
status.

Use the web interface, bring the host down and then find out what status it
is going into.  I suspect that it's going into an unknown status and that's
why service checks are still happening and why you're not getting host
notifications.

(configuration looks fine, fyi)
