soft state turns to hard state after a delay

Hello,

Right now I am evaluating Nagios for an extensive use within our 
company. I have a question about soft/hard state transformation.

On the page:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/statetypes.html
I read:
Hard states occur (...) (w)hen a service check results in a non-OK state 
and it has been (re)checked the number of times specified by the 
</max_check_attempts/> option in the service definition.

Would it be possible to specify a time period allowed for the service to 
recover instead of a number of checks? For example, I would like to let 
a service (such as apache) try to recover from its own during 30min 
before warning the administrator. Is that possible (ideally without 
tweaking the </max_check_attempts/> and the delay between checks)?

Thanks for your responses :-D !

Matthias
