Notification features

Hi Guys

Could you add a couple of features to how notifications works

1) The ability to fire Actions per Service Check rather than per server / tag.

For example, I create a notification to monitor 2 Service Checks(HTTP and SMTP) on 10 different servers in our office, if the office router resets I end up receiving 20 SMS messages.

This is enough to drive anybody crazy, if I could set an option to recieve per Service Check then I would only have recieved 2 SMS's (i.e. saying HTTP down and SMTP down.

2) Only fire a Down->Up action if an equivilant While Down action fired off.

For example, I add an Action to SMS me when HTTP is "While Down" for 10 minutes and another when it moves from Down->Up. I only want to recieve the Up notification if HTTP was down long enough While Down actually fired off.

Apologies if I've not been very clear (it is a Monday afterall!), hopefully you can see how these would make a big difference and allow me to monitor much more without the fear of being flooded with SMS alerts.
