<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We are currently monitoring 300 routers. Is there anyone
monitoring a higher number of devices with MRTG RRDB?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Our problem is that MRTG server stops updating the RRDBs
while the MRTG process is still running.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>We tried het below:<o:p></o:p></p>
