it shouldn't be difficult to add this feature as a background process/sprocket
the directory spider i added to #realy scrapes relay URLs from the database and then randomly tries their nip-11 first, to find relays that probably have sane behaviours
if they require auth, you can set an nsec for it to use...
it's a very slow and cautious spider, the data it seeks is not a big set (the directory event kinds i keep talking about)
opening up big wide connections to subscribe/scrape relays is also possible, so you can even pull in events reverse-blastr style, i've written one of these things ages ago for my paid gig (arweave social aggregator with blu esky and fartcaster as well) and nostr:npub176p7sup477k5738qhxx0hk2n0cty2k5je5uvalzvkvwmw4tltmeqw7vgup has been writing something in his "crawler" that does similar things but focuses mainly on follow (and maybe mute? i didn't read real close the filters) and it builds a graph model out of it and has a walker that measures distances between nodes
