[rancid] Rancid "down" messages.

Hey all,

Here at ISC, we have a number of hosts that are marked as down, with 
appropriate comments/tickets in routers.db.

However, it seems that while rancid doesn't try to poll them, they're 
still included in the "routers have not been contacted in 24 hours" list.

Is this by design?  In a perfect world, adding the router as "down" is a 
"yes, we know." to this.

Is there a simple regex tweak that can be done to exclude marked-as-down 
routers from this report as well?

Best,

-Dan
