The 'firewall' host showed down, right? If that's the case then I  
would expect the host dependency to suppress host notifications about  
the 'host_behind_firewall'. I don't use dependencies though so there  
may be some obscure criteria I don't remember. Again, I think using  
the 'parents' directive is probably more appropriate for your stated  
purposes.
