monitoring thousands of servers using Nagios

[Kerry Cox]

Okay, we have a homogenous environment. If we partition by server
functionality, we may end up with 5-6 groups of 500-600 servers.
One nagios install could handle one group. But then how do we
aggregate this into a single monitoring solution? Is this even
possible?
Does Nagios provide a consolidation of multiple installs within a
single web interface? Would there be a master Nagios machine that
could manage all the others? Could it provide the single interface to
the other groups of servers?
Thanks for your quick response.
