Route works fine. We use it in a number of cases where we do monitoring over VPN. I have not used depends.

I, and several others, have not been able to make DEPENDS work. I googled and searched the mailing list, and have found no one who has been able to make it work as far as I know. I would love to use the feature to reduce notifications when a firewall or ISP goes down.

Does such an option/functionality exist?

I provided this example last week to another similar statement:
This works for me: a.b.c.d dnscache1.xxxx # dns=a:www.google.com testip depends=(dns:UPSTREAMLINK/conn)
(where UPSTREAMLINK is the name of a bb-hosts entry that has a conn check for our next hop(s)).
If UPSTERAMLINK.conn is red, and the dns test fails, it goed clear instead of red (well, it can be red for a brief period, so one should alert on red with DURATION greater than the time your bbtest-net cycle actually takes - in my case the time taken when DNS is unavailable)
If you have a case where it is not working according to the documentation, please discuss and file a bug if necessary.
Note though that depends only works for tests run by bbtest-net, AFAIK you can't have a network check depending on a ports (client data) check, or have one host checked by one bbtest-net instance depend on a network test checked by another bbtest-net instance. This is covered in the bb-hosts(5) coverage for the 'depends' tag.
So, it if isn't working for you, please provide your configuration, and/or file a bug.
