nsrd automatically restarts nsrmmd processes that die.  So I might not
worry as much about monitoring them.  

In the past, I've never had a problem that had anything to do with an
nsrmmd unexpectedly disappearing.  I have had problems with nsrmmds
getting hung.  But you can't really tell that from a simple process
list.
