Specifically what information do you want from /proc/cpuinfo? Some of it is already available via SNMP, and you can easily extend net-snmp to give you any additional information you want. This would probably be the most elegant solution, although a simple ssh command will work. The key exchange and encryption is quite a bit of overhead for such a simple task, however.
