too much notify

[Alejandro Feijoo Fraga]

Hi.

I have al services similiar like this:

---
define service{
         use                             generic-service
         host_name                       cn003
         service_description             PING
         is_volatile                     0
         check_period                    24x7
         max_check_attempts              3
         normal_check_interval           5
         retry_check_interval            1
         contact_groups                  admins
         notification_interval           0
         notification_period             24x7
         notification_options            w,u,c,r
         check_command                   check-host-alive
}
---

But for example... when one node is down, i´m only need one mail 
alert... and nagios going to send too mucho notify.

for example... i have an mail alert

at 13:20pm
***** Nagios  *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: cn016
State: DOWN
Address: xx.xx.xx.xx
Info: $
PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

Date/Time: Thu Dec 11 13:20:32 CET 2008

And... the same alert at 13:55

***** Nagios  *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: cn016
State: DOWN
Address: 84.21.168.16
Info: $
PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

Date/Time: Thu Dec 11 13:55:51 CET 2008

How i can make to receive only one alert?
