Going through my mail in preparation for 4.0.3, I don't think I've
answered this one:

I have the depends tag on one of our hosts and I'm confused on why it goes
clear occasionally.  This is what I have in the hosts file:

0.0.0.0	www.deltafaucet.com  # noconn http://12.159.193.35
depends=(http:firewall/http)

The http test on www.deltafaucet.com has gone clear about 4 or 5 times in
the past week while the http test on "firewall" has stayed green the whole
time.  Each time it goes clear, it's only for less than a minute, sometimes
just a few seconds.  Shouldn't clear events on www.deltafaucet.com match up
with red events on "firewall"?
If you go to the www.deltafaucet.com http-column and view the history,
then the detailed status for one of these "clear" reports - what does
it say ? If it's because of a failed dependency, then it should say
that on the historical status log.
