Not so unbelievable. Pretty common, actually.

Makes sense.

If you have the ability to build yourself a Linux box (I'm totally happy to
help), I can thoroughly recommend Nagios (www.nagios.org). We use it here at
work to monitor a distributed environment (three cities) of around 200 hosts
including switches, routers and servers on multiple platforms - Win2K/2K3,
Cisco IOS, SuSE, Solaris, Oracle DB, etc. With a little work, you can even get
it to monitor process-level activity on hosts.
It's *extremely* powerful, if a little laborious to set up initially. Once it's
done, however, you have as good a monitoring system as you'll get anywhere, no
matter what you pay.
> #2. If we could pay for it what would you recommend?
I wouldn't - use Nagios.

Not a challenge. Like I said, if you'd like some help getting this set up I'm
happy to give you a hand via email or IM. It's definitely worth it.
