I have given this topic so much thought, I need to do the development, so I can make some room in my brain for other things

Take all the time you need, to achieve this milestone in the Cacti architecture.
Let's have a talk about your ideas at the 3.CCC.eu (via Skype) at the 11.october 2008.
We're all very curious.

Now that I have done some real large install's, I have found a dozen or so things that must change for the larger installs. Those changes should come first as they drive me absolutely nuts.

And Here they are, note quite a dozen, but again, they drive me nuts.
I have a few more to upload. I will have them uploaded in a minute.

| This one is VERY annoying when you have more than 100k Data Sources. I suggest a "View Mode" vs. "Edit Mode" or Ajax callbacks again. |

Here are a few more. More likely Aggregate users get bombed with this one.

As far as the Multiple Poller, the single thing that needs to be fixed in Cacti, is we need to move from telling spine or cmd.php from using polling hosts 1-5 to a system that allows comma delimited hosts also. This way we could say 1-2,4-5 or 1,2,4,5 and have host 3 polled by a different process or poller.
Simple enough really, then my plugin would work without too much trouble. I have attached it, still needs lots of work (like an interface to manage the pollers) as I didn't see any point in finishing it without the above changes in Cacti being made first.

Was that on the roadmap, or not?

My plan was to add a poller_id field to each host, and do it that way. That design is a bit dated, 4+ years ago.

| My plugin does use a poller_id, but moving to multi-range approach also allows a plugin to be built that can push larger hosts off to their own process, which is something we did discuss before I believe.

Ah, in 0.8.7c, I refer to this as process leveling I think. Need to update the documentation. However, it is controlled by host range again. We are just smarter about what that host range is though.
In hindsignt, we should be measuring performance of all the poller items and hosts to do this better though I think.

hello
With this patch it's possible in exemple to have 300 hosts on the master and 300 hosts on the slave and see all hosts on one cacti interfaces ?
make a load-balancing in fact.

It would not be officially supported even if it did work.

Before, I can start on any new features, the 0.8.7c release needs to be done.
