If you set your dependency so that service A is not checked when service B
is down, service A will remain on the monitor in the same state it was
when the checking stopped. Perhaps what you want to do is have the
dependency set to stop notifications on service A when service B is down,
but continue to check the service. This way when service B goes down,
service A will also fail and be set to "unreachable", but you will not
receive an e-mail or paged notification.
