servicedependencies and all services being dependent on PING

[Joe.Hoot at itec.suny.edu]

I'm trying to do the following:

define servicedependency{
       host_name                       admoraprod
       service_description             PING
       dependent_host_name             admoraprod
       dependent_service_description   *
       execution_failure_criteria      n
       notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c
       }

This complains about a loop being created by this, wheras PING is now 
dependent on PING.

Well, basically what I want is to say that if the host goes down(can't be 
pinged) then don't report on any other services.  Does anyone know a good 
way to do this?  Previously I was creating a servicedependency definition 
for every server for every host.  This was becoming a lot of work to do.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Joe
