question that some people out there may be able to help me with. I can't
find this detail in the docco.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=187284400-19052004>If you
define a host, and give it two parent hosts, are these tested using AND or
OR?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=187284400-19052004>In
other words, if you define host C as having A and B as parents, and A goes down
while B stays up, will C still be checked (since at lest one parent is alive) or
will C be ignored (since at least one parent is dead)?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=187284400-19052004>The
reason I am asking, is that we have multiple routes between our switches -- and
if one route goes down, we dont want monitoring of the things behind to
stop. However, if both go down, then we do. Finally, the network
diagrams will show the correct linkages if defined with multiple
parents.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

anyone know the answer without my running some tests?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
