Here is the hacked version of the original topo script by Bruno . I added some stuff (reverse lookups and a shell script "doit.sh" which you can call from a crontab file).
You might have to adjust paths. There exist multiple variants of this script and each network slightly adapted it.

Feel free to copy&paste&modify&feed back. I guess we could put it under contrib/ or lib/dot_draw into the source tree, no?

PS: in case you are using OS X, I recommend to get the OS X UI version of graphviz. There you can interactively play around with the parameters until you find the right settings for your graph layout in graphviz.
