Vegas never sleeps and they seem to be doing pretty good =)

I now have this:

172.16.10.49	airosfallback.ubnt.com # testip dialup
172.17.16.15	nodhcp.ubnt.com  # testip depends=(conn:airosfallback.ubnt.com)

The second host (nodhcp) is showing up red.  The syntax looks correct
to me...from the docs...

depends=(testA:host1/test1,host2/test2),(testB:host3/test3),[...]

Do we know if the clear condition should act as we expect in this case?
