<P><FONT size=2>I want to monitor a host, but have it dependent on a group of

><BR>><BR>> Looks like host dependencies will work just fine, but what
I need is a<BR>> dependency on a group of hosts. So if anyone of the
hosts in the group is<BR>> online the dependency is met. Is this
possible?<BR>><BR>> What I'm seeing now is I could define various
hosts/service dependencies,<BR>> but if any one of those hosts/services
failed the dependent would fail.<BR>><BR>> Thanks<BR>><BR>>
