This is a neat idea; for example, I'd /love/ to be able to put a hub in that map, and have things hang off of it visually, but since there's no way to intelligently put such an object into the Nagios conf (that I'm aware of), the map remains topologically inaccurate.

Ya mean, like this?
define host {
use generic-host
check_command check_ok
max_check_attempts 1
notification_interval 60
notification_period never
notification_options n
host_name some-hub
alias Some Unmanaged Hub
address 127.0.0.1
parents parent-host
}
The check_ok command is simply a call to 'check_dummy OK'. You can then
use this as a parent for whatever devices are behind it, but it itself
will always appear up.
