Is there a way to pass information from an external database to 
indicate that an existing machine has been retired or had a name or IP 
change and that you want existing history to be preserved but polling 
stopped, renamed/numbered, or deleted, depending on the circumstances?
I'm thinking of making a more authoritative inventory database that 
would be aware of more equipment and only have OpenNMS monitor things 
that are in production use.  But I'd like a way to do 
renames/moves/deletes and some sanity checks between them.
