statusmap.cgi not showing dependencies properly

[atonns at mail.ivillage.com]

i'd like to know if the statusmap.cgi will understand the alternate method
i'm using for configs and map the dependencies properly.

basically, each host has one line in the main nagios.cfg:
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/firewall
cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/testhost

in each directory there is a host.cfg file that has something like this (as
apropriate):
define host{
        use                     generic-host            ; Name of host
template to use
        host_name               testhost
        alias                   Test for Nagios
        address                 testhost.foobar.com
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   480
        notification_period     workhours
        }

define hostdependency{
        host_name                       firewall
        dependent_host_name             testhost
        notification_failure_criteria   d,u
}

also in the appropriate directories are seperate config files for each
service (http.cfg, ping.cfg, etc. etc.)

statusmap.cgi prints a nice picture, but it doesn't show that "testhost"
depends on "router". it shows all hosts directly connected to the "nagios
process" icon.

P.S. "testhost" is actually a virtual IP on "firewall" that is nat'd to
testhost.nat.foobar.com using private 10.x.x.x addresses behind that
firewall.

P.P.S. I only have 3 hosts currently configured. The host that runs nagios,
"firewall" and "testhost". They are all shown as directly connected to
"nagios process".

thanks in advance for any/all help.
