Greetings!

I've got a situation where I am going to be installing headless bsd boxes
in a couple of client locations, to act as a simple transaction processing
unit.  It may get to the point where I will have several hundred of these
boxes across the country, and so the thought of logging into each one to
see if they're still healthy is less than desirable :)

I'm going to be using FreeBSD on the remote end, since that is what I am
most familiar with :)

My question is this:  What is the best way to remote monitor each of these
boxes from a central NOC, so I can be alerted of problems as they develop?
How do the big guys handle their downstreams?

Thanks!
 Eric
