I suppose there is a slight misunderstanding here, as I am very happy with the
current host_notification situation (either parent or dependencies).

The real problem is WITH services, if a parent host ping, for example, is
critical, I get service alert for hosts that behind the parent host. But if
the parent host is down, no alerts are sent for hosts behind the parent (works
like a charm).
To rephrase the original issue, how should I change the dependencies.cfg, if I
really don't want to get any service alerts for dependedent services, if all
services rely on the ping status of a parent host PING service?
