Hups, is there a typo in the pdf doc? I have read the chapter 
"Determining Status and Reachability..." in the pdf doc V 1.0 from 
08-28-2002...

And there, in the paragraph "Remote Hosts" is the line:

"The <parent_hosts> option in the host definition..."

So I used this option name and not "parents".
After using "parents" all works fine.

Thanks.
