Can ServiceNow Discovery handle Virtual Routing and Forwarding

Hi, 
Do you have an idea if ServiceNow Discovery handles Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF)? 
I want to run Network Dicovery

I have basically the same question 🙂

Our scenario is the following:

As a colocation provider, we have several unrelated customers with the same private IPv4 addresses, and we use VRF to separate those.

We want to run discovery in these networks, but ensure that one customer's 10.2.1.1 isn't mixed up with another customer's 10.2.1.1 address.
We could put a separate MID server in each virtual routing space, but then how do we tell ServiceNow that a MID server has its own virtual address space, and attach the discovered IPs to that address space?

With lots more searching, we've found Network Partition Identifiers. It seems we could give  each VRF address space a unique partition identifier.

I still don't know how to assign them during Discovery, but it's good to know that a concept exists that covers this.
