Make the last_notification of this "2"

Make the contact_groups of this
ops, mobiles

Think "the first 2 alerts go to ops, the 3rd
and subsequents alerts go to both ops and mobiles".

I looked at 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/escalations.html

While your example looks like it might work
(with "overlapping ranges") or something like
that, give my numbers a try because that
seems to be the more logical way of doing it.

Have fun,
Stuart.
