This is fairly interesting :-) and I would be in favor of including it. Can you fork the Ganglia repo at
https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core and submit your patch as a pull request ? I'd be curious if you tested what happens if carbon server disappears ? Also using APR stuff may be a bit more portable for sockets.
