This is probably a better question for the snmp daemon you're running --
does it support aliased interfaces or only physical interfaces?  What
happens when you snmpwalk the device?  If you're using ucd-snmp try
walking the enterprises.ucdavis MIB to see if it shows any more detail.
The UCD daemon is pretty flexible, and you might be able to kludge
together a shell script that will let ucd-snmp return the value(s)
you're looking for.

| 2)  What is the proper way to build the .cfg file?  I'm using
2.9.0pre15

If

file

I always generate a per-box config file.  In fact, I only generate
per-box config files.  My periodic script that runs mrtg actually
concats all the files in my mrtg/config directortory with the "header"
that specifies global directives, and then runs mrtg against this file.
It makes adding targets to the management machine much easier.
