Nagios does this automagically if you have a working host check_command.
See the first section of
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html.
Receiving a host down notification and notifications about services on
that host would be very unusual. Can you post a sample host and service
definition that exhibits this behavior? Can you verify that you don't
have multiple nagios daemons running?
