Was a great idea, I'll just move it up on the page and glance at it
every once in a while.

I now have this:

172.16.10.49  airosfallback.ubnt.com # testip dialup 172.17.16.15
nodhcp.ubnt.com  # testip depends=(conn:airosfallback.ubnt.com)

The second host (nodhcp) is showing up red.  The syntax looks correct to
me...from the docs...

depends=(testA:host1/test1,host2/test2),(testB:host3/test3),[...]

Do we know if the clear condition should act as we expect in this case?
I sometimes sleep for a couple of days.  ;)

No, I don't know, and it appears that it doesn't.  In which case the
manpage appears wrong, because it says:

"depends=(testA:host1/test1,host2/test2)

When   deciding  the  color  to  report  for  testA,  if either
host1/test1 failed or host2/test2 failed, if  testA  has  failed also
then  the color of testA will be "clear" instead of red or yellow."

Apparently, the case is that if host1/test1 or host2/test2 are red, then
the color of testA will be clear.
