I added hard-coded horizontal areas to the graph. I do not have the statements readily available.
I was unable to get alpha working properly and the resulting rrdgraph statement had the actual data items obfuscated by the bands. It was hard for a person looking at the graph generation statements to quickly pick out the "real data", if you will. I also tried using horizontal rules, which certainly were properly placed. However, the rules alone provided insufficient visual clues wrt where the three areas are on the resulting graphs. The nice thing about hrules is that they're clearly differentiated from the data. The graphs are displayed on large monitors in a NOC and viewers can be 20 or more feet from the screens. The horizontal bands are an attempt to provide a quick visual clue that augments threshold alerts from a system such as nagios.
