Well, it's not so hard to trace, in my lab test I was using a timeout
in check_icmp of 20s. With this value, all goes OK. When I put a
timeout in check_icmp of 40s, I receive this message
Warning: The check of host 'teste' looks like it was orphaned (results
never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check of the host...

And nagios will ignore the max_attempts value.

By the way, I forgot to say that sometimes nagios don't give any
timeout warning, performing the tests the right and expected way. So
this is hard to trace, but once I have more than 100 hosts I monitor
with this configuration, the problem occurs at least once a day (we
don't have many down hosts per day).
With lab tests, nagios usually runs as expected, and I don't understand
why (murphy's law?).

That's kinda hard to judge if you do not
provide
your
configuration.

Right, I send the main configuration file as attachment.

To show only the configuration that's important for this case, here are
the configurations for the type of hosts that I monitor this way

First, the host
define host {
        name WAN-Instituicao
        check_command check_instituicao
        max_check_attempts 10
        check_interval 0
        check_period 24x7
        obsess_over_host 0
        active_
