I'm having some trouble with my unicast Ganglia setup.  I have a single 
gmetad watching 8 different clusters, clusters range from 5 nodes to 55 
nodes.  Small clusters operate as expected.  Larger clusters of 20 nodes 
upwards flag a lot of nodes down.

The strange thing is that if you just refresh the gmeta cluster page 
you'll see nodes going up and down in a sine fashion... 15 down 10 up, 
refresh, 14 down 11 up, refresh, 13 down 12 up, [...].

I'm thinking that I've hit a scaling threshold but none of the 
processes, gmetad or gmond's, seem to struggle much.  I've tuned the 
server thread count on gmetad up.  In all the setups there is a single 
unicast head node to which all the other gmond's in the cluster report 
to and is poked by gmetad.

I saw an issue like this in the archives several years ago (something 
about TN) but nothing seemed helpful.

Can anyone offer suggestions on where to look to better understand this 
issue or share similar experiences?
