Multiple host parents / dependencies

[Daniel Wüthrich]

Hi

This does not work in our enviroment because we are using vlan. All  
switches have a management interface and therefore each switch has another  
switch as parent => Layer 2 network Layout (all switches are checked in  
this management network. Therefore a dependency "switch -> host" is not  
possible.

I tried to make a hostdependency for the layer 3 (router) dependency but  
it doesn't seem to work as I expect.
