[mrtg] Pix firewall config and funny results

I just setup mrtg (on Windows 2000, it's an all MS shop here unfortunately)
to monitor traffic on our 2 PIX firewalls, one in Atlanta and one here in
Asheville.  The one in Atltanta monitors just fine, the results are pretty
much what I expected them to be.  However, the results for the Asheville PIX
are very odd.  The office is closed at night and on the weekends so there
should be little if any traffic on the PIX. However, at nights and this
weekend, mrtg continually showed the PIX with a constant usage of about
32KB/s in and 14KB/s out.  It never changes, just a constant plateau in the
graph.  The configs are the same (except IPs obviously) for both PIXs.  Is
this an mrtg issue?  A config issue or a PIX issue?
