Then NFR is the only ticket (unless you watn to use REALLY high-end RS
probes).
The main advantages to NFR are it's speed and adaptability. A
disadvantage may be it's adaptability. =) You will need someone on staff
with some programming skills to build the custom scripts you may want to
add to the existing NFR package.
One thing I am not clear on is how you plan to avoid setting up probes on
each segment you want to monitor. That is not really a downer to RS as
you will need to do this with NFR or NR...
You may also want to contact ISS direct and ask them what they have in the
works for the near future as far as solving the "high load" delimma.
