We just had a switch go down. With respect to the servers on that network, the server's conn went red but services such as http went clear.
I didn't write any depends=(http:switch.company.com/conn) into the config. Is a dependency on conn just automatic? If so, how do I shut the automatic dependency off?
....probably I'm missing something.

Yes, a failed "conn" status will by default cause the other network tests to go "clear" instead of red.
If so, how do I shut the automatic dependency off?
Use "noclear" on the host entry in bb-hosts / hosts.cfg, or add a tilde - '~' - in front of the critical network tests, e.g.
10.0.0.1 www.example.com # ~http://www.example.com/
