For everything I can't check across SNMP, I use NRPE. I just started
using it less than a year ago for a few things. I like it because of my
distribution though, the repo I use RPMs from has NRPE and Nagios all
ready to go. This makes it perfect for my use, so your application of it
may vary.

Anyways, back to NRPE. I haven't noticed any overhead with processing
checks even on older machines. My advice would be load both NCSA and
NRPE up on a machine or two and experiment first. That way you can see
for yourself which one you prefer to use. Let me know if you run Red Hat
or a CentOS flavor and you decide to go with NRPE. I can assist with
setting it up. ;)
