Service Configuration Question

[Michael Eck]

Is there any way to configure a service so that Nagios only performs 
the host check when a particular non-OK state is returned by the 
service check?  For example, I have a service check that, when in a 
critical or warning state, the host is necessarily up (it's an SNMP 
value), but when in an unknown state the host may be down.  My problem 
is that Nagios is performing too many host checks on hosts that are 
clearly up but in a non-OK state.  I'm either missing something in the 
check logic, missing a configuration directive, or Nagios can't do 
this.

Thanks for the help.
