Thanks for data, i have reproduced the setup.

The alert settings is shared by all testing rules in given service. If you want 
alert for one rule only, you can split the rules to two separate checks like 
this:

--8<--
set alert address@hidden

check host localhost_udp with address 127.0.0.1
   if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 53 type udp protocol dns then exec "..." else 
if recovered then exec "..."

check host localhost_tcp with address 127.0.0.1
   if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 53 type tcp protocol dns then exec "..." else 
if recovered then exec "..."
   noalert address@hidden
--8<--
 
=> the first check (localhost_udp) will generate alert, the second check 
(localhost_tcp) will suppress it
