<div>IF the machines are rebooted at or between a particular time, then setup DOWNTIME, (potentially setting it up in a script) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>with downtime, there is both fixed and dynamic, </div>
<div>using dynamic I find best resembles a reboot senario; you can set it up so that the downtime will begin within a particular time frame, then after the DURATION the downtime ends, because you proboly would like to know if a machine does not go back up within the a specific timelimit. With Fixed it fairly strait foward between here to here ignore notification rules.

<div>Mind Host checks are a burden and sometimes induce a load on the Nagios server, thus the sugestion earlier by Mark Powell is always a good way to reduce some of that Host check load.</div>

<div>Good luck,</div>
