Nagios service and host event handlers during service and host down time

[Wheeler, JF (Jonathan)]

We have started using Nagios service and host event handlers to trigger
24 hour callouts for our critical hosts and services.  However today we
had a situation when a host was put into downtime, but callouts were
triggered for a number of services on this host.  Does a host downtime
period have any effect on service checks on that host ?  Do we have to
put the services into downtime as well if the host is still up and known
to Nagios ?  I did check the on-line documentation but I could not see
any explanation of situations like this.  Any help would be much
appreciated.
