Poll routers/switches trough agent or something

Question

Hi,

We have a solarwinds server, that monitors all of our cisco devices, but we do have a remote IPVPN network that solarwinds cannot reach.

Is it possible to poll those nodes trough a windows/linux server with an agent installed? so that you poll them trough a server, that can reach the solarwinds server and de IPVPN devices?

From smallest scale to largest, if all you need is up/ down of the nodes in that site you could deploy a net path probe on a windows machine inside the site and that code handle maybe 20 nodes.  If the site is small you can talk to your account person about buying a remote office poller, if you need more than can be handled by that then you'd need a full APE.
