I haven't actually tested it with more that two, three hosts. Before next
release I'll test it with more hosts to see what's going on.

I am thinking about a solution for it, actually even now the resources
should not overlap if not moved by user, but there is some probably small
issue with it.

Could be, I'll try that.

Well, then the information about resource dependencies would get lost or
at least the arrows would get all mixed up as the resources would jump
around as they would switch hosts. At least now a user can position the
resources by hand. Of course I am planing some layout algorithm, when I'll
get to it.

I was thinking about some additional view, where the resources would be
grouped by hosts and a user would be able to toggle between different
views, but I will have to experiment a little bit with this.

Thanks,

Rasto
