Monitoring routers with accurate dependancies

I use the parent feature and my behaviour seems to differ to this.

If Int1 goes down, everything under it still gets checked, but if
it's unavilable, instead of getting marked down, it gets marked
unreachable. I have then turned off notifications on unreachable, so I
dont get alerted but the web pae shows it as unreachable.

If a host is down, services still seem to get checked, you just dont get
notified. i.e - if I block ping's to a machine, it shows as host down,
but all the services still show as up. If I take services down, they
show as down, but i dont get notified.
