Absolutely, but I don't think this is a problem that drraw should try
to solve.  I'd like to see a more generalized solution for distributed
RRD collection & graphing.  I have got more devices/hosts I want to
graph at my primary location then I can collect with a single machine,
let alone graph...   I'm doing the shared filesystem via NFS for
graphing.  Collection on two hosts, exported to a third for graphing.
And I shudder every time I think about it.

Tobias Oetiker (author of RRD) has been looking at adding an rrd
daemon which handles the file IO, buffering and smoothing it, maybe
even caching it for read access.  Once that happens I think
distributed RRD access should be fairly easy.

On the other hand...  Great, why don't you add that and send us a patch.  :)
