Host retry interval

Hi,
I have many hosts that are constantly giving me DOWN/UP state as they
are unreachable for certain periods. In an attempt to give the system more
time to become available, I increased the max_check_attempts from 2 to 5. At
2 the interval between retry attempts was 10 seconds. Now at 5, the interval
is 7 seconds. I'd like to have this interval higher for some hosts, but
there's a real scary note on the hosts check_interval option to not use it
if you can help it. Is this my only option or is there a better way? I am
also following the thread titled "Workaround for 'Host DOWN' false-positives"
but I don't clearly see how to set that up. Here's some output for a failed
host (I tail and parse the date field in a script so it's readable).
Mon May 22 14:25:52 2006 HOST ALERT: badhost;DOWN;SOFT;1;* system down * - snmpd not responding
Mon May 22 14:25:59 2006 HOST ALERT: badhost;DOWN;SOFT;2;* system down * - snmpd not responding
Mon May 22 14:26:06 2006 HOST ALERT: badhost;DOWN;SOFT;3;* system down * - snmpd not responding
Mon May 22 14:26:16 2006 HOST ALERT: badhost;DOWN;SOFT;4;* system down * - snmpd not responding
Mon May 22 14:26:23 2006 HOST ALERT: badhost;DOWN;HARD;5;* system down * - snmpd not responding
