You could look at What's Up and see how you like it. I used it at a couple different places. Not sure how well it handles virtual servers, but it's pretty good on monitoring interfaces, etc. It'll even monitor websites and see if it can log into a website. Had a PC at a previous job running WUG and had it alarm with a siren whenever there was a problem with a website (pretty frequently) that we ran at that employer. It was really fun when the siren went off in the call center... :-)
