Take a look at Network Administration Visualized (NAV)
http://metanav.ntnu.no/

All norwegian universities, college universities and UNINETT
are using it. v3 is still in beta, but the first major release 
is just around the corner. Binaries available for RedHat and SuSE.
It's also in FreeBSD ports (net-mgmt/nav)
