notification suppression

[Miles Scruggs]

I want to monitor a host, but have it dependent on a group of hosts  ie
google.com Microsoft.com etc, and if the host goes down, no notifications
will be sent out unless at least one of the hosts in that group is up  (ie
there is connection to the internet for sure)
