max_check_attempts, retry_check_interval, and notifications: confusion

[prosolutions at gmx.net]

Hello,

I am trying to configure the following behavior from nagios:

1. check a service every normal_check_interval

2. if service check fails, up the check rate to retry_check_interval

3. if 2 successive service checks fail, send notification

4. continue to check at retry_check_interval until service check
succeeds and send notification


my understanding is that once max_check_attempts is reached the service
check interval returns to normal_check_interval even if the service
is still down.  but this does not make sense to me.  if a service is
down - it seems logical to up the check interval and try a couple more
checks before sending an alert.  but if the service has not recovered i
don't want the check interval to go back to normal.
