As part of the MON deployment project I'm working on we've actually been 
talking about about wanting exactly this sort of thing for our 
multiple-mon-servers infrastructure.  We're thinking about adding a new 
configuration item, something like:

    redistribute trap.alert server1.foo.com server2.foo.com

The idea is that every time the monitor script is called the result should 
be propagated to the servers listed, regardless of time of day or status of 
the service.  (Lines of this form would belong OUTSIDE period definitions)

Anyone have any comments on that idea?
