differences: nrpe and nsclient

[Neil]

One thing I noticed with nsclient is being insecure. Is there a way to 
protect it without using microsoft's ip filtering? Just like how nrpe treats 
it, you can specify an ip address that will be calling it. 

I know, I can run Performance in the control panel. But maybe, you have a 
other list of performance counters there that are very useful for 
monitoring. Just like the one you mentioned, IIS hits. 

Thanks.
