Yes.  In theory you can use threshholds to do that.  In practice, I've
found that MRTG makes a really great poller and a really bad notifier. 
So, I use MRTG to poll the routers, bbmrtg.pl to grab the information
and throw it into Big Brother, and Big Brother to do the pages - that
allows for all of the fine-grained escalation and work-day rules I could
want.

Hammers are great tools unless you are dealing with bolts.
