The other question is : does iLO on DL180 really speaks IPMI ? I though this was proprietary.

I'm not sure how the IPMI cards are presented to the system, but can you query them locally, i.e. ipmitool -I open sdr or ipmitool -I imb and create nagios plugins locally, that way you don't need to fiddle around a proxy. However, all this takes away one major pro of a dedicated port, you will not be able to query/power cycle the box remotely if the box is down already. My advise would be, buy a cheap switch and connect the dedicated ports to it. A working 48 port switch costs less than $300 and is far less hassle - provided the boxes are not too far away from each other.
