I use the "route" tag for that instead:
192.168.192.20 toronto # trace conn
192.168.192.21 oriole # trace conn route:Toronto
You'd get an alert on Toronto...... someone please correct me if my
understanding is wrong.

Subject: [hobbit] The Depends Tag
Fellow Hobbit users,
I need a little help with something, it has stumped me...
I have two hosts on the same network, if one goes down. The other will
be down also because of a switch issue. I don't want to receive two
alerts. So I wrote in the depends tag, is this correct format???
192.168.192.20 toronto # trace conn
192.168.192.21 oriole # trace conn
depends=(conn:toronto/conn)
If toronto is down and oriole is down, I just one one email alert.
Thanks for the help, michael
