The question is rain. Rain or the monsoon is very important for breeding these guys.

You are looking at it the wrong way Scott. Rain does not trigger breeding on its own. It is what comes with rain that are the actual triggers.
#1 is the humidity level. Simulating the rainy season does not need to involve actual droplets of water falling on the lizard. All you need to do is offer a bit more humidity.
#2, in some cases, it is the barometric pressure changes that can trigger breeding. Again, nothing to do with droplets of water.
In my personal opinion, it would be a complete waste of time and energy to set up a rain system. I can also see this causing a problem with too much humidity. In a properly set up varanid cage, there woud be no way for water to drain and for extra humidity to leave.
