It would probably be nice to have in the future. I am just thinking in terms of configuration and administration of a large cluster. It is easier to keep each node as identical as possible in a homogeneous cluster. Having a different gmond config files for each node makes things a little more difficult for software installation. Having it in one central config file, like gmetad might be easier. ~Jason -- /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jason A.
