Yemi, please open a bugzilla entry, assign to me and attach your patch (diff -u format).
The functionality sounds interesting to consider. I assume you are willing to provide the documantation for it :-) Another thing I always wanted is a way to fix up the host name in "gmond" reporting. I have one installation with machines having NICs in a high-availability setup. They actually change their DNS names when a switch occurs, screwing the statistics royally.
