They might be more flexible, but they are not meant to be used that way
actually. Only the use of the parent option ensures that network outages
are detected properly by Nagios.

Parent = physical dependency
host_dependency = logical dependency

Using the parent option enables you to rebuild your actual network 
topology within Nagios.
