I have been adding new servers and routers to the existing cfg files using
the following command.
./cfgmaker --options growright public at abc.whatever.site >> 1.cfg
I then edit the cfg file (VI) to adjust Interface, Contact, Location etc for
display in the html page.
Please be aware that there are 100 servers and routers is these cfg files
and they are working correctly.

There are 2 cfg files, cron runs them alternately in 5 minutes increments.

System Info:
Red Hat Linux 6.2 512 MB RAM, 2x 500 MHZ Pentium II, 99GB (Raid 5) hard
drive space.
MRTG 2.8.12, current Perl.

Thanks again for your assistance.
