check_freshness and check_period

[Tim Wootton]

Do freshness checks only take place during the
check_period or do they carry on regardless?

if b) is there a way I can define that I only want
freshness checking some of the time.

I have a service at the far end of a distributed
architecture, that only needs to be checked over the
weekend. The remote machine stops sending passive test
results as per the time_period that I've defined, but
I don't see anywhere how to stop the central box from
deciding the service has gone stale. I tried setting
its check_period to the same time_period I defined for
the remote box but Its still forcing a service check
when the freshness threshold expires.
