Making Historical Intervals accurate

At TOM there is some very useful views for Historical.
And there is a way to create/alter sampling intervals and customer wants to choose 1 minute intervals as the most detailed view.
This makes sense in the development where the price to pay is worth considering the benefits achieved. For sure not a good ideia at production, but customer is aware of that.
But here is the problem.
When customer selects 1 minute interval, TOM accepts that without any complains or warning.
But data is retrieved from DDS (GPMSERVE) and interval for DDS is set at 5 minute interval, without being possible to change to 1 minute.

The resulting view in this case is (CRAZY) 5 times the very same data.
The view in this case is almost useless, uses 5 times more space, and when someone uses a batch job to build some statistics modeling there is not trusted data.

Suggestion in this case:
1 - Forbids selecting 1 minute interval when that is not possible.
2 - Avoid recording repeated 5 times (in this case) same data.
3 - Makes possible DDS interval less than 5 minute, and warns customer about the impact.
