notification_interval < normal_check_interval

I have a check that I only want to occur once a day, so I do this in the 
service definition:

         normal_check_interval   1440

However, when it fails, I want it to retry every 10 minutes, so I do this:

         retry_check_interval    10

My default notification_interval is set to 15.  When I run a pre-flight 
check, I get this:

Warning: Service '<service>' on host '<host>'  has a notification 
interval less than its check interval!  Notifications are only re-sent 
after checks are made, so the effective notification interval will be 
that of the check interval.

Is that warning telling me that notifications are only sent when a 
normal check occurs?  What I want is for in the event of a failure, 
notifications to continue to be sent (every 15 minutes) until the 
service recovers.  Will that be the case?

Thanks,
Mike
