Perhaps depends is broken (or we're all using it incorrectly, Henrik can
decide). There was a thread here last week about using the route keyword.
I found it. Also according to the bb-hosts man page
"route:router1,router2,....
This tag is taken from the "fping.sh" script, and is
used by bbtest-net when run with the "--ping" option to
enable ping testing."
The route option seems like it would work well when a service on hostB depends on hostA being "up", but it does no good in the case of a service on hostB depending on a service on hostA (for example, you may have an http on hostB that depends on a proxy http on another host)., which is what the "depends" tag is supposed to be for.
