I would say may be a 10 mins by default to global. (Current I am
disabling, for 10 mins, when the network test flaps like that.) And allow per-host
which will take precedence if defined. And per host/test which will take
precedence on per-host if defined.

In other words may be take precedence in this order
per-host-test
per-host
global

Also 10 mins unless defined per-host or per-host-test 

Thanks
