host checks and parent checks

[Bishop, Dean]

Good morning,
 
    Just need to clarify something.
 
    In the documentation it is stated that "If a host check command for a
remote host returns a non-OK state, Nagios will "walk" the depency tree" (
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/networkreachability.html
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/networkreachability.html> ).
 
    My question is this:  Does Nagios check parents as soon as it gets the
first non-OK state from a host or does it perform max_check_attempts first
and then "walk" the dependency tree?
 
thanks in advance,
dean
