Too stupid? Services are available, but nagios reports host to be down!

Service A gets checked every 5 minutes.
Service B gets checked once a day.

Do you _really_ want to wait to know if the host is down until Service B
is checked and fails?

The problem you're experiencing is an artifact of your configuration
methodology. If you don't want hosts checked, ever, do not specify a
host check_command (i.e. leave the entire line out). The fact that you
have it included in a template applied to the host is why it's being
checked. Use a template that doesn't specify a host check_command.
