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

[Damien Martins]

Hi Richard,

I use to think that when several hosts are bond together for providing a 
specific service, I would consider this is a cluster. Hence, I invite 
you to create a fake host that could embed all of your clustered 
services, and design some tests.

It could be some other distributed processing state that doesn't depend on any single system to still be available.
