This will be difficult but probably not impossible using the existing
CDEF.  It will however result in a very complex set of CDEFs.

I'm not sure if it will solve your problem but have a look at the
developers release.  Check the stuff contributed by Jake Brutlag.

You're right of course.  Then again: I think I proved the concept.

Uhm, not sure I understand what's the problem.
The xff setting only has to do with moving data into an RRA.
Before concentrating on the difficult stuff first make sure the
data is in the RRA as desired.  Thereafter it should be possible
to do the same as what can be done with a 1-hour resolution.
