A suggestion: pick a different name.  There's already a network tool

I suggest using the name of a different Wishbone Ash album: "Bona Fide". ;-)

Argus being a many eyed dog from greek myth ..  no surprise a lot of
tools that do this kind of thing have the very same name.

Call it panopticon maybe?  [nastier connotations - originally a prison
design by jeremy bentham where a warder sitting in the center could
see everything around him]
