Service notifications for a down host?

I'm looking for a little behavior confirmation here, please. It's my
understanding that a failed service check is one way a host check is
initiated. If Nagios determines the host is down, further service
problem notifications are suppressed. However, I still get one or more
notifications for the initial service problems. Wouldn't Nagios suppress
those initial service checks until at least one host check has been
made? 

 

For illustration, I have a remote site with host parent/child
relationships configured. If the site goes down, I get about 2 dozen
service notifications from various child hosts before it realizes the
top parent host is down and suppresses notifications for that site. I
then receive the one host recovery along with the 2 dozen or so service
recovery messages. I had hoped to not receive any service notifications
in this scenario. Is this expected behavior?

 

Thank you very much!
