Open Source Monitoring and Overlapping IP Space
I'm faced with standing up an open source NMS and am deep into Zenoss Core. I'm evaluating distributed collectors that will be deployed behind a customer NAT/Firewall. Cool, this works. What if the customer IP space overlaps with an existing customer IP space? From a management perspective Zenoss distinguishes devices by IP. So it will refuse to add duplicate addresses. To get multi-realm IP functionality, It would require purchasing a subscription to enterprise license.
So my pickle, do I spend weeks or months hacking the Zenoss sub structure to duplicate that? Do I somehow remap the IPs through site to site VPN at the router? Or do I look for a different open source solution?
Does anyone know of an open source NMS solution that addresses overlapping IP space and can do distributed collectors? I have posted a question on Zabbix forums asking if the distributed monitoring they have will do this. But I hope that someone else has tackled this and succeeded.

snmpsetup - set up the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent

Description
The command is an interactive facility for configuring the ULTRIX SNMP Agent. When your system is configured as an SNMP Agent certain net-

The command also allows you to configure Extended ULTRIX SNMP Agents. Extended Agents are user-defined daemons that allow you to specify
private network parameters to be monitored or managed by the NMS.
Before you invoke the network must be up and running, your host must have a name, and you must know the Internet Protocol address of any
NMSs that you want to have monitor or manage your system.
You can run while in multiuser mode, but you must be root or superuser.
