I think this is a more general issue, not just for the network re-test.

Currently, if a status goes from red -> green, it clears all of the
alert- and acknowledge information. I think it would make sense to delay 
that slightly - so that if it goes red again within that short period of
time, it will not restart all of the alerts and require a new
acknowledge for the alerts to go away.

How long should this delay be - should it be configurable on a per-host 
or per-test basis ? Or just a global setting ?
