That's how the Remote Agent checks work, except that it's not an SSL tunnel, but an SSH based connection.

It may even draw more new customers to a solution which you could monitor servers/routers/FW across an unsecure network e.g. Servers Alive central Server -> SSL encrypted tunnel -> remote agent And obviously the reverse. Almost all FW admins allow ssl to the internet, just need to ask to allow it in to a single Ahem...

Opening Netbios ports through the firewall to DMZ is not a great idea as we all know. But getting up and walking the extra 5 meters to my server room to logon to the console is a real drag... :) I'm not sure of the pricing model you have right now (bit out of touch) but depending on that I would be happy to make a case to my Director that this is a far better solution.

If the Remote Agent for Windows has this, would you use it more (the Remote Agent I mean)? And more then 2 agents (that are included in the enterprise edition)? (we do have to look at the cost/benefit of this type of dev too).
