I've dealt with this situation before, and I've ended up<br>
implementing two mostly standalone Nagios systems. They each<br>
check their own site, so if their external network goes away they<br>
are still able to monitor and alert for the things they're<br>
responsible for (you have to use out-of-band notifications of<br>
course). They also each check each other's *site*, ala the other<br>
site's firewall, so the Nagios server at site A can alert and let<br>
you know if site B goes away, but it *doesn't* try to alert you<br>
for all of the hosts and services at site B.<o:p></o:p></p>
