Openbox, dual monitor setup and cycling windows

I've been using a dual-monitor configuration for some weeks now, achieved with nvidia-settings & TwinView (Xinerama seemed too slow!).

I use Openbox as my WM, and I know there are some options available within Openbox rc.xml regarding multi-monitor setups, such as window placement and so. My configuration is nearly perfect for me, but I miss a simple feature when cycling windows.

Is there any way to configure Openbox to cycle only between active monitor windows? I mean, if I have the mouse placed on monitor 1, I would like to cycle only windows on that monitor. In the Openbox wiki I see no suitable options on NextWindow/PreviousWindow actions, but I wonder if anyone knows a workaround/config var to get this behaviour when cycling windows. It would be great!
