Being able to specify socks proxies on an address-range basis could make 
it possible for a single instance to poll otherwise unreachable networks 
- and it might be easier to maintain dumb proxies than remote OpenNMS 
instances.

KSC pages that display groups of related graphs by repeating a template, 
for example, interface bandwidth where the hostname matches a wildcard 
and the ip address of the interface is in a specified range.  Perhaps 
add the ability to set threshold alarms on the same groupings in the 
same interface.


Command line tools to match rrdtool for jrb format files - or is there 
such a thing already?
