Weren't you asking about HOST B;batteryliebert?

Service isn't responding... get's a warning (must be default for that  
plugin?). Nagios now checks the host --

Host is down!

If service has problem and host is down, retries aren't needed, HARD  
state results.

I haven't looked in depth at the new check logic with the introduction  
of parallel host checks to be absolutely certain but the above seems  
reasonable based on what nagios did in the past.
