[Xymon] custom graphs

You might consider using the devmon-way of reporting data in stead of NCV. 
It has the advantage that you can report data to be entered in multiple 
RRD's. In Devmon one RRD per interface is use, in your case one RRD per 
group of machines could be used. The devmon format has also the advantage 
that colons or equal-signs in the message will not confuse the extractor of 
the RRD data.
