extra recovery notifications

[Byrne, Tim]

I think these are the relevant definitions.

define host{
  use generic-host
  host_name hostB
  alias Host B
  }

define host{
  use generic-host
  host_name hostA
  parents hostB
  alias HOST A
  }

define hostdependency {
  host_name hostB
  dependent_host_name hostA
  notification_failure_criteria d,u
  }

haha.. sorry Tim, was busy doing something about host definitions that day. 
Therefore, got mixed up with the options. Tim, you are right about the 
options dont worry. Just follow the docs regarding the options. Do you have
a 
snippet of your host dependency definition?
