I don't follow either. Some hosts you may only want to set up a service
"PING", but you want the host to also be checked so that you get a single
HOST failure, vs a service failure if the host is down.

So setup the host with a check_command           check-host-alive line, and
then add a service for the same host

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name      hostname
        service_description             Ping
        check_command                   check-host-alive

If the service check fails, it will force the hose to do a host check, and
since well it's probably down, you should only receive a host
critical/unreachable alert.

Sorry if your not really talking this basic, then your going to have to
provide a bit more information.

You could also force the host to actually be checked like a service by
enabling active checks every x minutes (create a new host template)
