We're looking at switching to it, from our internally-created system, and I want to get some outside opinins while we're still in discovery mode.

Questions:

• Have you used it for servers in multiple, widespread, locations?
• Have you used it to manage pools of servers and only report if a certain number go down? (ie. 6 identical database servers, if 2 or more go down, send an alert, but if only one dies, ignore it)
• Have you used it to self-test? (ie. Making sure that if your offices net connection goes down it doesn't send out a billion internal email alerts)
• Have you used it with 'reference' checks to make sure half the 'net isn't down and there's no point in sending out an alert? (ie. A router dies inbetween you and a group of servers halfway around the world...and you want to to only send out an alert if your servers are dead but a bunch of other ones in that vicinity are ok)

Thanks! If you've got other things working that do the above, please let me know!
