Yup. nagios knows this. Service alert suppression is automagic. The  
first section of the following page explains --

You just need to make sure that your host's check_command returns DOWN  
when it's down. If that is currently the case, and you see that  
reflected in the web interface, be sure that you don't have multiple  
nagios daemons running at the same time.
