hi,
this is pretty much standard functionality of nagios and is well 
described in in the docs:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html
a little cut and paste:
*max_check_attempts*: This directive is used to define the number of 
times that Nagios will retry the host check command if it returns any 
state other than an OK state. Setting this value to 1 will cause Nagios 
to generate an alert without retrying the host check again. Note: If you 
do not want to check the status of the host, you must still set this to 
a minimum value of 1. To bypass the host check, just leave the 
/check_command/ option blank.
btw: it looks like the nagios list archives at sf aren't working.
