I think the NetView Server is suppose to see every node that it or its MLMs are managing, at least once. I doubt whether you can have the MLMs manage nodes in their own subnet which the NetView Server doesn't have in its databases and on its maps. I'm not sure if this would be of much use to you anyway. The most you could do if it were possible is receive a trap from the MLM to report a node in its subnet as going down or up - then you would be managing via the Event Browser instead of the maps which I imagine would be a nightmare. I'm thinking that you could setup your environment to allow the NetView Server to discover all nodes and the MLMs, then offload the remote nodes to the MLM for management, and then restrict access and allow the NetView Server to only talk to the MLM via icmp and snmp. This should work except that now you would have no backup facility if the MLM went down - everything the MLM was managing would also appear down I suspect or maybe be white if you're using NetView v6. Maybe I don't quite understand what you are trying to do but the NetView Server will need to have all nodes being managed in its databases and maps to be of any use to you. I hope this helps.

I still would like to know if anyone can see a problem with using the mlm approach. If I used public addresses on these devices and ping them I would have a root map that consisted only of MLM's they would in turn "see" the privately addressed devices and on the network map show up as managed by the mlm's. Anyone have a comment on this?
