I missed this part in the man bb-hosts

"Since all tests are actually run before  the  dependencies  are  evaluated,.."

So I change the ip of hostA to a non exist ip 2.2.2.2 and added testip
and I see hostA conn turned into red instead of clear now.

2.2.2.2 hostA.domain.net # conn depends=(conn:host1.domain.net/conn)
1.1.1.1 host1.domain.net # testip

both 2.2.2.2 and 1.1.1.1 are non exist and based on the depends tag
host1.conn goes red and hostA.conn should go clear but it actuallity
it tunr into red.

Please advise

Thanks
