Are you looking to monitor every sub?
Here's some quick stats on some of the people who have chosen to share how many nodes/services they monitor with Nagios:

It's a ton of work to setup, and you'll need a beefy box to poll 10,000 nodes, but it is doable. HP OpenView or other big commercial products will also have a very steep learning curve and need lots of hardware - and possibly a "consultant" to get the whole thing running. |
