I would have thought someone had come up with a script to use databases from
two targets, and combine the data to create a third (aggregate) data set,
graphs and html pages.  No?

Are there major difficulties to this approach?  I can think of possible
problems with time stamps that don't match, but there are probably logical
work-arounds for even those.

I'd like to do this plus something even simpler - generate two sets of pages,
one with peaks and one without, from a single polling of a target.  How best
to go about this?  Once again, I would have thought someone had already
solved this with a script, perhaps one that reads an existing database, pulls
the most recent polling numbers and timestamp and feeds them to mrtg.
