Netdot is awesome, single set of VLANs and address ranges aside. If your
switches / devices support all the proper SNMP MIBs, it will draw your

I've heard good things about OTRS but my personal favorite is Request
Tracker (http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/). It can be a bit daunting to
get running the first time due to the sheer number of perl modules

working.
