*> On a somewhat related note, I've been graphing some squid snmp values and
*> what's kind of annoying (and this is maybe a squid thing as much as anything
*> else) is that when no one's at work the values naturally drop to 0, but it
*> makes the week/month/year averages (and graphs) totally distorted because
*> the min value is always 0.
*> 
*> My fix for this would be a TimeRange[] keyword which would accept a GMT time
*> range that the target should be polled.  Once you had a handle on when your
*> targets generated nonsense values you could omit those times. This would be
*> trivial to accomplish through cron, although I'd prefer it in mrtg..

you want to have a look at www.rrdtool.org this can do all this ...
