I was thinking about this myself recently, and came up with an idea for a
modification to the Circular mode.. I can't offer patches to the devo team,
since my C is a little too deficient for this, but I suspect that it wouldn't
be too hard for someone who knows the statusmap code well.

Anyway... the idea I had to reduce crowding on the circular map was to allow
the creation of secondary circles.  In my own case, I have a couple hundred
servers to monitor, but they're distributed across three sites.  If I could
have the status map automatically separate the servers by location, it would
tidy things up quite a bit.  So, what if it were possible to mark a host as
being the center of a new circle?  In this case I could wind up with one
circle built around the Nagios process itself, with connections that offshoot
to two separate circles built around the core switches at those sites.

Something to think about anyway...
