If you have "u" in your host_notification_options it will tell you when 
hosts are UNREACHABLE (as in, the parent host is down as well as the 
host in question). Using dependencies for this sort of thing is just 
wrong. Make your parent setup work instead.

Incidentally, what version of Nagios are you running?
