I'd agree.  If you've got less than ~100 systems/devices, 
this would be fine.  If you want to do much more than 
that, you'll want a separate hobbitgraph process to 
handle this.

Sure, leave it up to you to find a way to make things 
difficult, eh?  LOL!

I've tried this a couple of way without much luck.  I'll 
be working on it tonight to see if there's a way...there's 
got to be a way...
