host retry_check_interval

[john]

Hi,
Is there an equivalent you can set on the host for retry_check_interval?

It seems a bit of an oversight that this is missing. I'm trying to monitor 
a service on a host to see if it's down (there is only one service I'm 
monitoring). I only want to know if it's been down for 15minutes. I can 
set the service up fine for this but if the host is unreachable (it's not 
on my network) it'll tell me immediatly.

The only way I can see round this is to set first notification to a 
blackhole and then escalate to the appropriate contact after 15mins, but 
it seems silly using the notification interval in place of a retry 
interval.

Am I missing something blatently obvious, or is nagios missing it?!

john
