if i understand you correctly then one of your questions is, why it takes 
nagios approx 10 minutes to notify?
imho this is because auf the combination of max_check_attempts and 
retry_check_interval. if nagios gets reportet that the check_ping is critical 
then i tries 3 times with interval of one minute to confirm this status. 
after that it notfies.
ok.. example: host goes down ->  (in worst case) 5 minutes later 
(normal_check_interval) nagios checks -> gets critical -> 3 x 1 minutes to 
confirm -> sending mail. ----> approx 10 mins. the same when recovering.

hope this answers a question.
