Ah, you're absolutely right -- you should be recording the data points
as "U" unknown, not zero -- that's right.

The trick is going to be getting rrdgraph to not plot anything where
data points are unknown, instead of either treating unknown as zero OR
most recent value.  You may need to define CDEF's to handle the unknown
values properly and graph the CDEF's instead of the raw DEF/DS data.
