I have always used "route" and it works perfectly if conn is all you care about. I have never actually gotten "depends" to work. It doesn't make the ping go through any host you put in route and it also chains properly to make it easier. Example:<br>
<br>10.10.10.10 server1 # conn route:network1<br>20.20.20.20 network1 # conn route:network2<br>30.30.30.30 network2 # conn <br><br>If the route to server1 is: hobbit -> network2 -> network1 -> server1<br><br>The above statement works, that if network2 is down ... network1 and server1 go blank :)<br>

I have nothing to add to this thread, but it looks like "depends" might be helpful for a problem I am currently having with a pair of servers, whereby one at a time will show a process as running, the other not. So as long as one of these machines is running this app, the color should stay green.<br>
