Are there any other tests for the host in a non-green state?

If we had this line in hosts.cfg
0.0.0.0  foo.bar.com  # nopropred:oops http://foo.bar.com/index.html

and only the test 'oops' has gone red, it shouldn't propagate. If, 
however, the test 'http' has also gone red for this test, then that will 
cause it to appear on the non-green page, and both red test results will 
be shown.


I can say I use the .default. setting of nopropred (and yellow) on my 
installation (4.3.28), and it works well for us.

I suggest returning the noprop settings in your XYMONOPTS to their 
default values. Do the same to the line in your tasks.cfg. Work on 
getting the behavior you want using tags on one host in your hosts.cfg. 
When you have seen that work as you need, then move it into a .default. 
line, or into XYMONOPTS for greater coverage.
