Notification Interval Configured wrong or not working right

[Elijah Savage]

All I have read the documentation a number of times and either I am not getting it or it is not working. I have this host set below 

define host{ 
host_name beastie 
alias NFS Unix Server 
address 172.26.X.X 
check_command check-host-alive 
max_check_attempts 10 
check_period 24x7 
notification_interval 20 
notification_period 24x7 
parents Pix 
notification_options d,r,u 
contact_groups Admins 
} 

If I shutdown the network interface on the switch leading to this box nagios alerts on the host being down but it alerts on it every 10 minutes. 

If I think I understand the notification interval correctly hopefully this info will be enough for someone to point out what I have wrong here. 

# INTERVAL LENGTH 
# This is the seconds per unit interval as used in the 
# host/contact/service configuration files. Setting this to 60 means 
# that each interval is one minute long (60 seconds). Other settings 
# have not been tested much, so your mileage is likely to vary... 

interval_length=60 

The service check interval for this host is 
normal_check_interval 5 

Oh yeah I am running version 2.5
