Actually, nagios does this automatically; no dependency is required.  
When any service fails, the check_command for the host definition is  
run immediately. If that returns a non-OK result, all notifications  
for services on the host are suppressed until it recovers.  The OP  
must not have a host check_command that accurately determines when the  
host is down.
