One notification for a host or service?

Hello,
is it possible to setup Nagios 3 so that only one notification is sent
out for a downed host or service, but still have the possibility of
escalating to a 2nd (3rd, ...) level contact if the problem hasn't been
fixed 'in time'?
And when the host/service recovers, only contacts that have been
notified about 'down' should receive 'RECOVERY' notification.
I tried doing it with a 'dummy' default contact and escalations, but I
can't quite get it.
So my 'host' templates include:
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
max_check_attempts 2
notification_interval 1
notification_options d,r
contact_groups dummy
Then I added these escalations:
define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name MYGROUP
contact_groups my_real_contact_group
first_notification 3
last_notification 4
notification_interval 0
escalation_period 24x7
escalation_options d,u
}
define hostescalation {
hostgroup_name MYGROUP
contact_groups my_real_contact_group
first_notification 1
last_notification 0
notification_interval 0
escalation_period 24x7
escalation_options r
}
This *almost* works - the problem is, I always get a RECOVERY
notification - even if the host recovers before I wasn't notified about
the DOWN.
Is there a better way for doing this?
