Thanks for the comments.

This is pretty much the way that the Map Status probe works now. The sub-map does the work to poll all the devices, and only sends summary information (in the form of updates to the state) to the device on the top-level map.
I realise that, but what I'm suggesting is a file-based transfer, so we don't have to open ports between otherwise secure network tiers.
Or am I missing your point...?

I'm never wrong. I thought I was wrong once, but I was wrong.
