How does that work with the gmetad having 3 different IP addresses?  My goal 
was to have one server running gmetad, rrd, and apache.  Do I have to have 
gmetad running on another system to break my cluster into sub-clusters?

Thanks for the earlier reply.  I appreciate it.

Yes, this is possible, I'm currently running ganglia like this.  I have
a different gmond.conf for each subcluster.  The only thing that changes
between the gmond.conf's is the "name" and "mcast_channel", all other
settings are the same.  As for the gmetad.conf, here's the crucial part
of it:

data_source "Head Cluster" 300 10.10.1.19
data_source "Storage" 300 10.10.1.1
data_source "Monitor" 300 localhost
