Can I use a Windows based MLM with an AIX based server?  I have NetView
7.1.4 fp2 running on AIX 4.3.3 and would like to offload polling of a group
of 500 servers to a MLM.  The server group has offered up a Win2K box.
This box has 1 CPU (P4 1.4 GHz), 1.0 GB RAM, 100 MB enet, Win2K, 60 GB
harddrive.  Is this enough of a server to poll 500 servers (ICMP only)
every 3 minutes?  Can I filter events on the MLM using rulesets created on
my AIX box before forwarding them to the AIX server?
