Dynamic configuration daemon (DCD) in distributed monitoring

votes
In a distributed monitoring setup with central configuration the DCD can be configured to run on a remote site. This is necessary because piggyback data may only be available there (see https://ideas.checkmk.com/suggestions/296865/support-piggyback-data-from-remote-hosts).
The DCD then creates the hosts in the configuration of the remote site. They are not available via the setup menu in the central site.
The DCD should be able to create and remove hosts via the API of the central site in such setups.
