Independent of nagios i had some thoughts about service-dependencies. My
prefered solution is to "weight" the dependencies. e.g.:
serviceA depends on serviceB weight 1 and serviceC weight 0.5
If in this szenario serviceC fails serviceA is degraded 50%. If serviceB
fails serviceA fails also. Additionally a group of similar services
should be definable with a "weight" for each service and a "weight" for
the complete group.
