How many parent hosts in a parent directives ?

[Stanley.Hopcroft at Dest.gov.au]

Dear Folks,

After many years of using and thinking I understood the use of the
'parent' host
attribute, I find that I don't and hope someone will amplify what is
given in the
FAQ and http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html

In particular, that document seems to suggest that each host in a routed
subnet (at least) should be configured with the short name of the subnet
router.

But what happens when there are two site routers perhaps sharing a
gateway
address with HSRP ? Do both routers go in the parents directive ?

All advice cheerfully received.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely
