it's up to you if you want a notification if a host is unreachable, or just 
for the parent that's down.

Have a look at the notification_options for your hosts, there you can 
configure if these unreachable messages should be sent. (or 
host_notification_options at contacts, ...)

I think it could be interesting for some people to know which hosts can not be 
reached if a special host is down.

 Christian
