I think what happens is something like this:

1. Nagios polls the host, it's UP
2. Host goes down
3. Nagios polls the services, they're DOWN

I suppose the way to address this would be to set it to not alert until 
the service has failed twice (and presume the host will be checked again 
in between those two service checks).  Is that what most people do?  Or 
is there a better way?

Thanks,
Mike
