I talked to several third-party monitoring companies (including, but
not limited to Alertsite, Keynote, Keynote/Redalert, and Gomez).
Unfortunately, none of them could meet our security needs. In the end,
I will be building my own network of external monitoring  systems.

Someone on the list has mentioned Zabbix several times, so I have
begun playing with it. It is a very feature-rich monitoring system. It
seems to follow in the footsteps of so many other powerful, flexible,
highly configurable open source applications. The documentation it
severely lacking, and the forums are full of "me too" :-)

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

Thanks,
Kenny
