Disregarding for a moment the time-based stuff (and exceptions to that),
what you're asking for is an implementation of "flap detection", in
essence - if event A happens more often than frequency X, suppress
notifications.
More widely - if ldirectord notices a service/host is flapping, should
it remove that host/service and lengthen the check time before testing
again? It could have a geometric growth, too.
Not sure I could code that right now but it's fairly widely applied
logic in networking monitoring.
