[hobbit] depends & conn test

[Geoff Hallford]

I have never been able to get depends to work. You should use the 'route'
tag on the host to have a dependency, such as:

1.1.1.1 foo
2.2.2.2 bar # ssh noconn route:foo

or more hops:

1.1.1.1 foo
2.2.2.2 bar # ssh noconn route:router1,vpnrouter,vpnrouter2
3.3.3.3 router1
4.4.4.4 vpnrouter
5.5.5.5 vpnrouter2

This would assume the environment is like this: (hobbitserver and foo) >
router1 > vpnrouter > vpnrouter2 > bar
