I must say though, with the size of your environment, it's quite possible that
just looking up the dependency takes longer than it does to just execute the
extra check. If you're looking to save time, that might well bite you in the
ass. It's something that will probably be improved til Nagios 4, but it will
require a change in Nagios' object structure, so we can't really do it without
upping the major version number :-/

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
