thanks for the info, Greg. I guess I'll set up the PING (or CONN) test for
that host then.

 I think the route tag will suppress some of the tests if conn fails.
Otherwise you are out of luck.  I believe that some sort of general "root
cause" or "dependency-based suppression" is on Henrik's "to do" list (if I
remember a previous post), but probably not at the top, and certainly not in
the current version of the product.

we don't use ping at all. can I specify a service (ssh or other abitrary
service) of hostA instead? In other words, will the following work? The man
page of bb-hosts made it sounds like 'route:router1,route2' replies on ping
or something?

x.x.x.x hostA     # ssh
y.y.y.y hostB    # ssh route:hostA.ssh

Sweet!  Works for me too!  Thanks.

Try using the "route" tag to set up the dependencies.  Don't let all
the
router talk in the documentation throw you...

y.y.y.y hostB    # ssh route:hostA
