I have this host:

172.16.10.49 foo.bar.com # testip dialup

Which is only used when a device fails to find a DHCP server. Is there any way to be alerted when this goes from clear to green? COLOR does not accept green and RECOVERED it seems is only from red to green (we all know about the yellow to green "bug").

You're up at 5am Sunday thinking about this? Eek.

Don't see how to do it directly, but what about: 172.17.16.15 nodhcp.foo.bar.com # testip depends=(conn:foo.bar.com)

That should go red whenever foo.bar.com goes green. Assuming you don't actually have a pingable host on 172.17.16.15, which is rather obscure RFC1918 space.
