Yes.  You can append the output to the first file, or have one file per
device with a master file with Include: statements.

Since I monitor about 500 devices with mrtg, I use the Include: method.
I have all of my global settings in a file called common.cfg, one device
per config in the 500 {devicename}.cfg files (in various directories)
and then a master file that is built on the fly from a database.  The
master file looks something like:
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/common.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-net-2.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-net-3.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-net-8.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-net-9.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-probe.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-ups-3.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-ups-8.cfg

If you need indexmaker, yes.  Run it against the completed master file.
