The Dude can already be set up like what you are asking for. We have a similar setup and have a Dude on each main network segment. The "local" Dude on each segment is set up as an agent and then we have a central Dude server. The Central Dude server is the one that has all the network maps and so on. A device on a map is set to be polled by a Dude agent, not by the central Dude server. All of our Dude clients connect to the central Dude server and can see the status of the devices which are polled by the agents.
You can also use this setup in fault-finding as you can select which Dude agent to use to ping or traceroute to a device.
