host/service dependencies

Hello 

I'm trying to figure out a way or logic of service /host dependency .
In today's dependency logic - there is no correlation between host failure and the host services , 
even if the host is down - services are still being checked and reported as critical .

there is a need to designate a specific dependency check for services and then it will only "learn" 
of the down status .

Is there a way to tell nagios that once a server is down - not to check the services assigned to 
this server ? to me it seems like this 

define dependency {
	host_name	foo
	dependent_service_description *
	execution_failure_criteria      d,p,u
        notification_failure_criteria   d,u,p
}
So once the host is down/unknown/pending , all the services on the server are not checked and do not 
send alerts .

anyone knows on a way to implement it now ? or is such a logic being developed for later versions ?
