No, in order to do that, the notification_period needs to be unspecified. null

implied inheritance.

To take advantage of the implied inheritance, you need to leave out the 
directive entirely as indicated above.

Quoting from the documentation:

   The following table lists the object variables that will be
   implicitly inherited from related objects if you don't explicitly
   specify their value in your object definition or inherit them from a
   template


...so I need to not inherit the value from my template.  How do I do that?

   In some cases you may not want your host, service, or contact
   definitions to inherit values of string variables from the templates
   they reference. If this is the case, you can specify "*null*"
   (without quotes) as the value of the variable that you do not want
   to inherit.


If I don't specify a value, it'll be inherited. Right? How will that help me not specify a value for the service?
