Once a service check fails the host check kicks in. This may result in
not doing any other checks at that time. If the hosts checks faile beyon
the limit set the host will reach a hard state of down and no further
servic notifications will be done.

This theory has been discussed rather intensively on this mailinglist
and for full details I advise you to browse the archives where propably
could have found the answer.
