Thanks for the reply ,
Unfortunately for me, it appears that "route" only affects ping (
"conn" ) tests. So, I can't use route for the ssh checks, and I can't
make the ssh test depend on another host's conn test. I could setup a
yahoo www test, and try to use that as a dependency, hopefully that works.
thanks

I have never been able to get depends to work. You should use the
'route' tag on the host to have a dependency, such as:
1.1.1.1 <http://1.1.1.1>; foo
2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2>; bar # ssh noconn route:foo
or more hops:
1.1.1.1 <http://1.1.1.1>; foo
2.2.2.2 <http://2.2.2.2>; bar # ssh noconn
route:router1,vpnrouter,vpnrouter2
3.3.3.3 <http://3.3.3.3>; router1
4.4.4.4 <http://4.4.4.4>; vpnrouter
5.5.5.5 <http://5.5.5.5>; vpnrouter2
This would assume the environment is like this: (hobbitserver and
foo) > router1 > vpnrouter > vpnrouter2 > bar

Hi,
I've looked up the list archive and there doesn't seem to be
any answer to this problem, the "depends" doesn't work with the
"conn" test.
I have a bunch of remote kiosks connected via vpn and other
means. Some I can ping and some I can't. I can always ssh to them,
therefore ssh is the main connectivity test for all them.
I'm trying make those test dependent on our internet connection.
In my bb-hosts file, I've added www.yahoo.com
<http://www.yahoo.com/>; as a host and added depends=(ssh:
www.yahoo.com/conn <http://www.yahoo.com/conn>;) to the kiosk
machine definition in the bb-hosts file.
In order to test that, I setup hosts foo and bar in my lab,
defined the,as follow:
x.x.x.x foo
x.x.x.x bar # ssh noconn depends=(ssh:foor/conn)
I unplug foo and bar's network cable, and sometimes later I get a
page regarding the ssh on bar
interestingly, bar's ssh test history shows this:

Anyone using the conn test as a dependency out there ? Can anyone
confirm that is does or does NOT work ?
Thanks
