We study the theory of NS five-branes in string theory with a smooth non-trivial transverse space. We show that in the limit that the bulk physics decouples, these theories become equivalent to theories with a flat and non-compact transverse space. We present a matrix model description of the type IIA theory on \IR9× S1 with NS five-branes located at points on the circle. Consequently, we obtain a description of the dual configuration of Kaluza-Klein monopoles in the type IIB theory.
