leif-
you're right in that gmetad currently just get the name from xml NAME
tag. gmetad doesn't do dns hostname lookups. the problem with dns is
further down stream.
say i'm monitoring hundreds of clusters all over the world. the gmond
that i'm fulling the data from use dns to resolve the ip t

I know what you mean about the data forking as it relates to the hostname
and IP address, an example is where a set of gmonds are running and only a
pair of them have tcp port 8649 listening, and one of them has a custom
hosts file or certain knowledge of ip to hostname mapping that differs from

the real problem here is not that data will be lost if the ip/hostname
pair changes. the real problem is that the data forks to two different
places.
gmetad is currently not smart enough to know that a fork occurred. i
don't see a simple way to make it smart.
here's one way...
gmetad saves a d

i just updated the CVS and uploaded a new tarball to
http://matt-massie.com/ganglia/
i fixed the RRD case-sensitivity problem by forcing the RRD paths to be
lower-case in both gmetad and the web frontend. this change doesn't
effect how the data is displayed.
for example, if DNS alternatel
