One possibility would be to use the (mrtg) "Directory[..]:" setting. You
would have to move the rrd files manually. 14all would show one index
page for every used directory and one page listing all directories.

You don't need several copies of 14all. I suppose you have a handmade
html index page? Change the links to 14all to something like

   .../cgi-bin/14all.cgi?cfg=name-of-config-file.cfg

(look at the "cfg=" parameter - can be relative to the 14all dir or
absolute)

If you use mrtg-2.9 you could use the "include" feature of mrtg: Create
one master config file which contains just the line

   include other-config-file.cfg

for every config file and start one mrtg instance on this file.

14all was created to use mrtg with rrdtool and to get graph-on-demand.
Compatibility was important for me. Therefore it offers only few
additions to mrtg.
