dependency on network?

Hi guys.

I have such units:

-> $ cat IP-10-1-1-252.monit

check network IP-10-1-1-252 with address 10.1.1.252

-> $ cat container.containers.mine.priv.monit

check process container.containers.mine.priv with matching 
"^/usr/bin/conmon(.*?)-n containers.mine.priv"
   depends on IP-10-1-1-252
   start program = "/usr/bin/podman container start 
containers.mine.priv"
   stop program  = "/usr/bin/podman container stop 
containers.mine.priv"

and states/statuses:

-> $ monit status IP-10-1-1-252
Monit 5.35.2 uptime: 1d 8h 17m

What I'm hoping for is for 'container.containers.mine.priv' 
to stop/fail when "Link down" - bu that does not happen.

Am I missing or doing wrong some bits - would you know?
many thanks, L.
