In my first post I've pasted the configuration from hosts.cfg and hosts_templates.cfg.
It means from original configuration.
The second post I've pasted the conten of the status file. NOW I've NO IDEA where the check_interval directive is taken.
Do you have any idea?
Should I set it to "x" seconds to be shure che active check will be done exactly every "x" seconds (example 300)?
...expect, of course, on-demand checks.
Because I've no idea where nagios take the check_interval directive from the configuration. Maybe setting it to "0" does 
the trick? :)

Thank's
