Hi, how about using the plain carbon-aggregator.py[1] (or relay.py) on the rack leaders?
I'm using graphite-relay[2] at the moment for a select few "unreachable" nodes, but its reliability is less than stellar. Since my graphite can't be reached from those nodes at all there is an additional need for tunnel back - which does not add reliability.. But as long as your rack leaders can talk to the graphite VM I think I would use [1].
