Hi Karl,
You don't need satellites for this.
41 hosts and 514 interfaces is not much, and JFFNMS can handle it on its own.
2 minutes seems ok. Heres why:
The main Poller process is executed every 5 minutes.
When it runs it will fork one poller process for each host, every 3 seconds. So it will fork a poller for host 2, wait 3 seconds and fork a poller for host 3, and so on.
So 41 * 3 = 123 seconds / 60 ~= 2 minutes.
I'm guessing the load on the server is low, it shouldn't be high.
So, you could decrease the wait time from the engine/poller.php script, look for 'sleep(3);'
Hope that helps.

Maybe Im missing it, but I was curious if there was a short Satellite How-To? What needs to be installed on the satellite for it to work and what changes need to be
made to the Master and Satellite?
Lastly, as a performance # set Ive found the following:
Sun Fire V240, Dual Proc, 4GB RAM, 4 internal disks, RAID 1,
Monitoring 41 devices, 514 interfaces.. it takes the poller approx. 2min to do the polling run. The V240 isnt a shabby system and I know it can process alot faster. However, 2min for 514 interfaces is not what Id call acceptable. Are there plans to improve this?
*NOTE* This is why Im looking at a satellite, cause it just seems to be very low on polling.
Tidbit info: This is doing straight polling, no syslog, no tftp, no autodiscovery.
