I basically have a drop into my cabinet where the internet comes in, that
goes into a port on the switch, all other machines plug into the same
switch, and mrtg monitors each port on the switch.

So it looks a little like this:

Internet --- switch ---- multiple computers

So yes, I am monitoring the ports from the server side, or at least, within
the LAN.  I am getting traffic in both directions, its just that there is a
ton of green, and I always thought green should be outbound.  I am not even
sure I want to switch them around, I like the colors as they are now, I just
want to switch the legend data at the bottom.
