This is really something that would need to be arranged with your customers.
They could either configure their firewalls to accept SNMP traffic from
your management systems, or set up a VPN connection to these systems
so that you appear to be on the local network.
  The HTTP protocol isn't really suitable for tunnelling SNMP traffic, IMO
It would be more usual to have an SNMP application running on the
customers webserver - probably something specifically tailored to the
management tasks you need to perform.

But whatever you decide, this needs to be done in consultation with your
customers.
