Host is down but there aren't any further alerts

[Wheeler, MG]

Ok, now I'm really getting frustrated!

I got my server sending more that one notification for a given host. Wasn't sure which one of the many things I changed (but documented the changes) had fixed it so I was backing them out one at a time. Inbetween each time I was restarting Nagios.  Now I have backed them all out and it seems to continue to work and still page more than once for any given host!  I wish I had better news for you others that can't get it working.

define host {
    name                    ldap-host-template
    check_command           check-host-alive
    max_check_attempts      2
    notification_interval   30
    notification_period     24x7
    notification_options    d,u,r
    register                0
}


As I read that, when the host goes down, check twice.  After that, notify. 
Continue notifying every 30 minutes, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  I'd be 
happy to know if I'm mistaken.  It certainly does the first notification -- 
just never follows up.
