On your Office Firewall to have a VPN status check. Then use this as the dependency?

So if the DC firewall is unreachable, then dont alert on anything (hosts and services) above that... or if the DC switch is unreachable, then dont alert above that etc - cool - understand that. BUT: The thing is, the DC Firewall is reachable (ping) if the office-DC VPN is up or down... and so are the hosts (ping checks).. so what i really want todo is NOT alert on any services above the DC Firewall if the VPN is down. Any thoughts? Thanks Simon
