Ah, I begin to understand. I have ping checks for the machines, so I just need
to add some statements. :) Thanks for clearifying my mind. I was just a bit
confused about that dependency stuff...

I just get a note, that the host is down. This is the behavior I like to have
and it already works that way. :-P

I am aware of that. I just want to be informed if something breaks on those
machines (in case they are up) to be able to react as soon as possible. As I
told: this is a small private and uncritical net. Yeah, monitoring those
machines sounds a bit like overkill, but I like it that way. You may call me
paranoid. :-D
