so i think one of the most powerful mechanisms available in graphite/carbon is 
the ability to do a wildcard search for metrics - such that if i have a metric 
name of the format <cluster>.<machine>.<variable>, i can do searches like:

batch1.*.cpu
*.host1.cpu

etc. etc.

however, as i'm monitoring stuff cross domain, i often put the FQDN in for the 
hostnames - the problem is that not all domain names have the same number of 
subdomains:

batch1.com.domain1.machine1.cpu
batch1.edu.domain2.subdomain1.machine1.cpu 

my question is whether there is a way i can do a wildcard search on the 
hostnames such that batch1.*.cpu would still return both of the machines in the 
above example?

if not, would anyone be interested in this functionality? something like a ** 
for example.

(i do not particular want to replace the fqdn with s/\./_/g, as then i would 
also loose the ability to do wildcard searches on the parts of the fqdn)
