Monitor Remote SQL Cluster

I need to monitor a remote SQL Cluster which we generally do using WMI for the cluster node or VIP. The problem is when reaching into remote sites with Orion we generally use NAT which won't work with WMI. I am curious if anybody knows of a good way to do either of the following...

A: Monitor a SQL Cluster without using WMI

B: Monitor a remote site with WMI

Thanks in advance for any ideas on this!

If the Firewall is WMI/NAT aware, (Checkpoint for instance supports changing the IP address in the WMI packets on the fly to the NAT'ed IP address) then this should be a non-issue. If your firewall does not have this capability, you can monitor the host via SNMP. AppInsight for SQL will still work, though some information, such as disk I/O, and Windows Event Log information won't be available. If you absolutely positively must monitor the host via WMI, another option would be to use IPSEC Policies in Windows to tunnel any traffic between those two hosts.
