Yes, but the question was how to configure the _interval_ between host
check retries.  AFAICS this is not possible.

You mean this wrapper should sleep for the desired number of seconds
before it returns the result?  That's not an option.  First, I want a
retry interval which is larger than my "host_check_timeout".  Second:

| when Nagios is check the status of a host, it holds off on doing
| anything else (executing new service checks, processing other service
| check results, etc).
