And as usual, this dependency tree fails immediately if you have multiple 
nagios servers for redundancy purposes, that are located in disparate 
locations (part of the whole idea behind redundancy).  I seriously think 
how parents are handled in Nagios need to be re-evaluated to truly handle 
multiple-nagios environments.
