 Yeah, I've done that. Just does seem to be pretty redundant to send
out
 UNREACHABLE alerts when a parent is DOWN, imo... :-)

It has it's benefits. That's why it can be enabled and disabled, just
like all the other notification types.

   However, when the parent machine goes down, all the VMs (for
 obvious
   reasons) send out a Oh Noes! message as well. This is not
wanted.
  
 
  Shouldn't happen if your host checks work properly and you have the
  parents directive properly set up to match your environment.
 
 
 To be more specific, when a border-router or similar goes down,
 unreachable notifications are sent out for a number of connected
 machines, vms and so forth; which is pretty obvious imo... This seems
 to
 be the main issue DOWNs leading to UNREACHABLES.

If you don't want the UNREACHABLE alerts, just disable them.
