Parents on ubuntu

[mario]

Hello List,

i have my nagios box in an internal network and i monitor "out to the 
world". Sometimes our internet connections is down for some minutes, and 
i get like 40 Mails with alerts.

Thats when the parent dependecy gets intresting. I read the docs to 
understand the differences. I am quite sure i want to use the 
child/parent structure in my case.

Nagio-Box --> Router/Firewall --> A-FEW-Hosts

I am running Ubuntu breezy with nagios 1.3-cvs.20050402-4ubuntu3.2.

define host{
   use                              generic-host      ; Name of host 
template to use
   host_name                        service.server.de
   address                          service.server.de
   check_command                    check-host-alive
   max_check_attempts               20
   notification_interval            5
   notification_period              24x7
   notification_options             d,u,r
   parents                          provider-gateway
}


The exspected parent feature does not work though. If my internet 
connection fails, i still get a error msg for each host, instead from 
the parent "provider-gateway".
What am i doning wrong?

Thanks, Mario
