<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello group.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like some advice regarding setting up
Nagios for monitoring larger networks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have been running Nagios at our main location
for almost a year. Everyone is quite exited how good it works and the managers
now wants to expand the monitoring to all our locations worldwide.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this possible to do with one Nagios server
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there a way to "mirror" the Nagios servers
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can a distributed Nagios server also act as a stand
alone ? ( some checks to be relayed to the mother server and others not
).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there any special things to take in
consideration when monitoring larger networks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To give you som clues about how many servers we
want to monitor here are som numbers:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Windows
servers about 500 pcs</FONT></DIV>
