I have not heard of one

Sounds right. If you're a programmer, try it. Many of us are just users

Once again, try Routers2.
Create a 'live' cfg that runs with MRTG & RRD creating the database, and a
'dummy' cfg that is invoked by the routers2.cgi, that has the same target
twice, once with peaks and once without.
Once MRTG has captured the data, you can view it how (and as often as) you
like.
