reciever software
Im thinking dedicated linux server listening on whatever ports
In the event of a trigger from a site zm it connect to reciever server.
Then web page from reciever server showing current activations
I assume that the alarm signal that shows in a viewing page (which appears instant) could be used to send alarms
Then once alarm has been acknowledged site zm would disconnect and carry on doing what it does.
Big project i know but would be a way to get multiple zm sites to communicate to a central place only when they needed to. On top of this there would need to be link monitoring etc. I am currently testing nagios for this. As it polls each zm site if there was a failure it emails a set user this user would then need to manually connect to site and check path etc etc.

The status you refer to it refreashed though the web page at a cycle determined by the settings you have in you bandwidth configs (low, medium, high). You could have a remote fetch server fetch these.
I think what would be better would be to look at making a wraper for zm that could get that information and send it via a udp or tcp packet for the current status.
Just my two cents.
