Can you unplug the router for a while?

It could be that the devices behind are generating down events but only a few 
times, (so the count wouldn't be updated)

This is because it's possible then zenoss sees the devices after the router 
down before zenoss sees the router down

I have notifications for a count higher then 3 and mostlly this is not causing 
problems
