Yep, I agree with you Matt. There should be a GET MEANLOAD command or
something like that implemented in gomd in order to have an as light as
possible client (monitoring GUI).

And, about the nodes' ranges, it's for selective cluster monitoring. Say
you want to monitor only certain nodes... you could say something like:

GET LOAD 1-4,6,9-12

and filter the monitoring status only for nodes 1,2,3,4,6,9,10,11,12.
That's it. It might be useful for very large clusters.

I guess Gian Paolo and Massimo are already hacking the daemon since we
all agreed to start from implementing its TCP-based interface to the
client, right? ;)

Ciao, Mirko.
