Parent/child config

[Tom DE BLENDE (GCC)]

Correct me if I'm wrong, or don't get the problem here, but you have the 
following line:

notification_options d,u,r

That means that you will get notified when the parent is down, as you 
have inserted the u(nreacheable) flag. Remove that, and you will get no 
notifications.
