Once upon a time I used NetViz It was amazing in that it let you create "dig down" projects that could be saved as HTML with image maps. So you could link them directly into your documentation pages. You could also put "pop-up" text boxes into the images.
It was specifically designed for doing network diagrams and had a wide array of CAD-CAM quality objects such as servers, routers, racks, cabinets, and such. So you could even get down to the PCI cards on the back of a server and each network interface they connected too.
