Check the archive for this list, a number of people have commented on this issue and have come to the conclusion that it is quite broken. The 'best practice' at this point is to use the router directive.

Tom,
Unfortunately the depends directive isn't functioning as documented. Take a look at the router directive instead. It isn't quite as flexible, but should work in your case.
Thanks for the info. I will have a look at the router statment.
Do you have any idea just how broken dependancies are? IOW: are they worth trying to config for other services?
I would really like to have working dependancies but I want to avoid wasting time. :-)
