Comment(by sysrqb):

 It might almost be better to create a file of unreachable/non-listening
 bridges. As far as I can think (right this second), with the current
 script, BridgeDB would have to parse this file occasionally (on some sort
 of schedule), determine which of the bridges are currently in a ring, add
 any bridges as unallocated if they are new, compute the non-intersecting
 set of bridges it currently has in its rings that that were not in the
 file (could not be reached) and remove them - that last step being fairly
 expensive.

 Was there an easier way that you were thinking of using?
