That is certainly an option. However, it is difficult to verify
whether Zabbix and the equipment/IP database stay in sync.

Anyway, the get_dbid function looks less complicated than I thought
originally. If the node id's are assumed to be 0 (in a single-node
setup) it is particularly simple. I still think that it is ugly to mix
node id's and item id's in one row, but I can imagine that it speeds
up access. (The bc* family of functions are rather expensive, though.
I played with replacing them with string functions, but it got too
complicated because of zeros.)
