per-service serialized checks in nagios 2?

[Ben]

Does nagios 2 offer the ability to make service checks for specific
services serialized? The docs say it's all or nothing, but the docs were
written for nagios 1. The docs that come with nagios 2 also say that the
parallelize_check is in the service object, so that would imply that it's 
per-service. So, which is it?

I ask because I'm writing a custom plugin which unfortunately must be 
serialized. I'll run about two dozen service checks with this plugin, but 
I've got about 5500 other services that suffer no such stupid restriction. 
So I've set just this plugin to be serialized, but now all my services are 
suffereing latencies of roughly 12 minutes. So it would *seem* that the 
nagios 1 docs are still accurate about serialization being all or nothing.

Should I just wrap my plugin in code that serializes itself with file 
locks or something?
