If all else fails, you could think of writing a script on the redhat
box and put this into /etc/inetd.conf 

I don't consider security nor stability here, just as an example:

    666 stream tcp nowait nobody /tmp/test.sh

(Don't use the /tmp directory.)
(Choose an appropriate port on the redhat machine.)

Then write/modify a script that returns the values:

    #!/bin/bash
    </proc/stat /bin/awk '
    /cpu /  {
            print $2+$3
            print $2+$3+$4
            }
    '
    /usr/bin/uptime
    /bin/hostname

Now you can use telnet and expect on the monitor machine and feed
the output to mrtg:

    Target[x]: `/your/script`

Maybe netcat will do:

    Target[x]: `/usr/bin/nc linuxhost 666`
