*nod* - perhaps "pcp-server" or "pcp-avahi-server".

I think we're still talking past each other a little bit :)  - this
server process would not need to run pmlogconf/pmieconf, I think.
It'd just update the control file(s) and the crontab-driven existing
pm{ie,logger}_check functionality takes it from there.  With that
control.d addition, it'd just be creating a one-line file for each
new host found, in the /etc/pcp/{pmie,pmlogger}/control.d directory.

cheers.
