check_ping gives host check timed out instead of packet loss.

Hi all,

I don't know if I am missing something here. But shouldn't the check_ping plugin give a 100% packet loss if the host is not reachable instead of
 returning 'Host check timed out'. Yes this could be if there had been some issues with the DNS services or the server's load. But all seem to
be fine with my nagios installation.

Any references would be appreciated. I feel like I am missing something here, just don't know what in exact.
