Is that really necessary?  If you use the "parents" option, devices
behind the  main one that is down will show as unreachable.  I think
you could then just acknowledge the main device that shows "down". 
This of course assumes everything in that building is behind one
device.  If not, you might have to acknowledge each of the main
devices, but if you do it right, you shouldn't have to acknowledge
_all_ switches/routers, just the few that everything else sits behind.

I mapped out my network tree on paper first.  Then I check the
statusmap.cgi to see that my config matches how I think it should
look.
