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.

IPNAT(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  IPNAT(8)

NAME
ipnat - user interface to the NAT subsystem SYNOPSIS
ipnat [ -dhlnrsvCF ] [ -M core ] [ -N system ] -f <filename> DESCRIPTION
ipnat opens the filename given (treating "-" as stdin) and parses the file for a set of rules which are to be added or removed from the IP NAT. Each rule processed by ipnat is added to the kernels internal lists if there are no parsing problems. Rules are added to the end of the internal lists, matching the order in which they appear when given to ipnat. Note that if ipf(8) is not enabled when NAT is configured, it will be enabled automatically, as the same kernel facilities are used for NAT functionality. In addition, packet forwarding must be enabled. OPTIONS
-C delete all entries in the current NAT rule listing (NAT rules) -d Enable printing of some extra debugging information. -F delete all active entries in the current NAT translation table (currently active NAT mappings) -h Print number of hits for each MAP/Redirect filter. -l Show the list of current NAT table entry mappings. -n This flag (no-change) prevents ipf from actually making any ioctl calls or doing anything which would alter the currently running kernel. -p This flag is used with the -r flag to cause any active NAT sessions that were created by the rules being removed and that are cur- rently active to also be removed. -r Remove matching NAT rules rather than add them to the internal lists. -s Retrieve and display NAT statistics. -v Turn verbose mode on. Displays information relating to rule processing and active rules/table entries. FILES
