- Actually, we do have a number of duplicate routes (not on the IP layer -
  redundant links managed by spanning tree)

- This won't work very well if the interface on the upstream router goes
  down.  Ideally a notification should go out for the interface on the
  upstream router and the downstream hosts should be marked as unreachable.

That's why I need hosts to be dependant on services, not just hosts :P
