[Xymon] how to represent status of something not associated with a single host?

[Richard L. Hamilton]

Let's say I have something, in this case DHCP server failover status, that although the parts of it run on two or more hosts, isn't strictly associated with either one (ideally if both DHCP servers are up, they'd both show the same failover status for each other). It could be some other distributed processing state that doesn't depend on any single system to still be available.

Let's say even that I can write a server-side script for it.  Where the heck should I show the information? Maybe make up a fake host for global state like that, suppress display of all the usual probes for it, and only show the ones I want?
