How close are we to getting a single icon to represent multiple probes on

I'm actually working on a specification for this now. 

My current thinking is that a single icon in a map would represent a
"collection" of probes. The collection would test a single IP address. Any of
InterMapper's probes could be added to a collection (including other
collections). These probes would be executed sequentially, once every poll
interval.

At the conclusion of each poll, InterMapper would set the device's status to the
most severe condition. The device's status window would contain one line per
probe (at the bottom, expanding on the "Reason" condition string).
Notifications/alerts would be sent, based on the collection's overall status. 

I have some specific questions about how this should work in certain edge cases.
If you have thoughts about the above mechanism, please get back to me. Many
thanks.
