Right, you can extend what MLM can manage in this way, and have him do
status checking on nodes outside of his local subnet, but there is no way
to extend discovery. Nodes outside the local subnet have to be discovered
by someone else (netmon) before you can put them in the MLM collection.
MLM discovery is always limited to the subnet on which it resides.

Subject: Re: Extending Discovery Range on MLMs
You can extend/rearrange an MLM domain manualy through Collection
Editor. Select the MLM domain and edit its definition as you do for
collections. For instance, you can add a list of nodes to a domain. APM
will then communicate it to the MLM in question.
Best regards,
Vladimir.
