Well part of the Cisco MIB does have information on other switches in
the stack, so it should be possible to poll the lead switch and get
information about other switches in the stack.

So the question is has anyone already created this probe?

I suspect this might be a shortcoming of the way Cisco "stacks" those 
particular switches.  We have the same issue with several models of HP 
ProCurve switches.  The problem is with the SNMP implementation on the 
switches and not with InterMapper, I'm afraid.
