Parent/child config

[Scott Whitney]

Actually, Skip, I was just thinking about reposting, since, no, I did not
get anything back.

Anyone?

Scott,

Did you get any feedback on this problem?  I'd like to set up something
similar, but based upon your report I'm skeptical it will be of any use.

Thx,

Today, my local Cisco router went down.  Call it hw-router. :)  Well, I have
a bunch of machines defined as "coloc-host".  Here's what the foo.cfg file
says:
------------------
define host {
  use                             coloc-host

  host_name                  foo
  alias                           foo
  address                      vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz
}
-----------------

Here's what the hosts.cfg file says:

------------------
define host {
  name                            coloc-host
  notifications_enabled           1
  event_handler_enabled           1
  flap_detection_enabled          1
  process_perf_data               1
  retain_status_information       1
  retain_nonstatus_information    1

  check_command                   check-host-alive
  max_check_attempts              3
  notification_interval           1
  notification_period             24x7
  notification_options            d,u,r

  parents                         sw-router, hw-router, coloc-router
  register                        0
}
--------------------------

Well, when hw-router went down, when it came back up, I got about a dozen
pages telling me that each of the coloc hosts was down, and then back up. I
thought it wasn't supposed to do this to me, based on the config above.  Any
help would be appreciated.
