bb-hosts dependency behavior

[Michael Hobbs]

I have a bunch of hosts dependent on our router as you can see by the configuration below. When ever the router conn test alerts, the others do as well. I thought that that dependants would not alert if the parent test was red or do I just have configuration error?

#Office router
x.x.x.x infusionVIP # testip
#Colo Router
x.x.x.x sterlingVIP # testip depends=(conn:infusionVIP/conn)

#Colo Servers
x.x.x.x  ent3        # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
x.x.x.x   raid1       # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
x.x.x.x   raid2       # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
x.x.x.x   raid4       # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
x.x.x.x   raid5       # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
x.x.x.x   raid6       # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
x.x.x.x    earl        # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
x.x.x.x    sparky      # testip ssh depends=(conn:sterlingVIP/conn)
