multiple host parents

[Daniel Wüthrich]

Hi

I had some discussions about host parents. If using more than one parent  
nagios assumes that the parents are redundant paths. But in our VLAN  
environment I need the possibility to define multiple parents where ALL  
parents are needed. E.g. a Host depends on a router AND a switch (this is  
possible, not the host depends on the switch and the switch depend on the  
router!).

It doesn't seem that there's a possibility to implement this, especially  
in a big network. Therefore I modified nagios source:
I added a new variable in the host definition where I can say whether the  
host depends on at least one parent (as it already is) or whether it  
depends on all parents at the same time.

In our network it does work and now I would like to contibute this to the  
official source.
