One idea could be, to ping this hosts by an other daemon or cronjob every 1 or 2 minutes and append the result to a file. The host check than does not ping, but look into that file, if the last successful ping is not older than e.g. 7 minutes and return OK to Nagios.

This is also an option if someone has a lot of down hosts, to reduce check latency, because there is no timeout involved.
