For users of Nagios 3.x.  Something to be aware of is that setting  
'max_check_attempts' to 1 on HOSTS is effectively throwing the 'On- 
demand' check logic out the window.  Host checks will be run serially  
instead of in parallel.

Jorge, as for you demo, have you  Have you considered the 'send custom  
host notification' from the interface as part of your notification  
demo?  You can access it by clicking on a host/service name which  
should bring up the extended information page.
