We ended up putting our mon server on a platform behind our firewalls, since it's much easier to get outside from the inside than to go the other direction.
You could also use a snmp monitor to query a snmp agent on the monitored servers. Then you would only need to open one port (161) on the firewall, and restrict access through this port to just one machine (the mon server). Not an optimal solution, but relatively safe and easy to secure. If you're on good terms with your networking techs, you could also ask them to create a VPN between the mon server and the machines behind the firewalls. Scott Prater Dpto.
