Parent directive in non blocking network issues

[John Andrunas]

In a configuration like the following...

nagios---firewall1----internet---firewall2---host1
                                                      |---host2
                                                      |---host3

if there is an issue at firewall1 that causes packet loss I get
alerted for everything after firewall1, if firewall1 goes down
completely I only get an alert on firewall1 since nagios sees it as a
blocking outage.  I have all the parents setup, so is there a way to
make the packet loss scenario behave more like a outage, so I don't
get 36 notifications for everything on the other side?
