info on nagios

Nagios will do what you want.  Like Marc said, no proxy is required - 
just network access between the Nagios monitoring server and the clients 
you want to monitor.  There are a few ways you could achieve this, each 
with their own benefits.

- Run an SNMP agent on your remote clients, then you can monitor the 
clients and the routers in the same way from your Nagios machine (active)
- Run NRPE on the servers/PCs at the remote location, then Nagios can 
communicate directly with them to execute the commands (active)
- Run NCSA on the servers/PCs at the remote location, which will submit 
the check results to Nagios (passive)

Or, as Marc alluded to, you could also set up a Nagios server at your 
local location, and one at your remote location.  Your remote Nagios 
server will query the clients at its end (remote; using one of the above 
methods) then submit the check results back to the Nagios server at your 
local location, which in turn could query the clients at its end (local) 
too.

Hope this helps,
Andy
