>From a licensing point of view that's OK to do

Using the "no cost" ten user version of SA, install a local version on each of the customer's servers...configure so that if these installations of SA have an alert, that they send the alert via email to a cell phone, or to an email account, install a modem backup in the event that internet is down. This takes care of all the devices that are within the customers LAN, behind the firewall. Then at a central point, ideally your friends data center, install a registered full version of SA, and use this to actively monitor the devices outside of the various customer's firewalls over the internet, routers, the firewall itself...etc...again, set this registered version up to send alerts with email, via both regular internet connection, and backup modem. This will in effect divide the monitoring of the various small offices logically between inside/outside the client firewall, but will give you a solution that doesn't require creating VPN's...nor opening ports in the firewall for monitoring...and it has a degree of redundancy in the event of loss of internet service...along with being able to monitor more for the customer than just his Internet connection...kind of a different way of creating a monitoring architecture, but I know it works from a technical standpoint. I don't use VNC for remote control myself...I use a program called Radmin, I think it is more secure than VNC, and it gives the added ability of creating a gateway connection, and then going out over the LAN to reach another machine...really great if your gateway machine is the server...you only have to open one port in the firewall, and you can configure NT authentication on Radmin, so it is fairly secure. It uses 128 bit encryption, and I haven't had any instances where hackers breached it.

Is anyone using Salive to check systems connected by VPN? A friend has 50 to 75 clinets ( small offices) 4 to 10 computers. He'd like to set up VPN (maybe RealVNC or sonething like this) so ke can access the remote computers. I'm thinking if you set up Salive and check the connections and or (if you can) the connections to the computers you'ed be ahead of the game. If you can check the connections, at least you'ed know when a link goes down. Does this sound right? Any thoughts or ideas?? Can this be done or should it be done another way??? Thanks a proud registered user of a GREAT program!!!!!
