I see, thanks for the input. The simplest solution i'd have for you is to use post_tag (or post_tag2), if you are not using tags for anything else. Essentially: you add 'tag' to your 'aggregate' line (and modify your SQL schema to reflect that) and add to your config 'post_tag: X' where X is a positive integer number different for each pmacct server. Would that work for you?
