Say I have three hosts which can only connect in a "chain" like...

But since I am running weave, the connectivity between containers does not have to follow this constrained topology, and instead might look like...

But when you do this, the Hosts view changes to...

which is rather surprising and IMO confusing since the connectivity between hosts hasn't actually changed.

I see. We've discussed / considered an 'overlay' view for this which I
think would be pretty straight forward to implement.

Isn't it the other way round? i.e. the current 'Hosts' view is an overlay view, but what I really want is an 'underlay' view.
