The route option seems like it would work well when a service on hostB 
depends on hostA being "up", but it does no good in the case of a 
service on hostB depending on a service on hostA (for example, you may 
have an http on hostB that depends on a proxy http on another host)., 
which is what the "depends" tag is supposed to be for.
