[mrtg] can I set, what ip MRTG must use for queries?

Yes, you can - but you need to make a bit of a complex Target definition.

For example, if you didn't care about the SNMP options, you could use:

Target[xxxx]: 0:community at router

Then, if you want to use SNMPv2 it would be:

Target[xxxx]: 0:community at router:::::2

Or, to specify the source IP:

Target[xxxx]: 0:community at router:!192.168.1.21

The full syntax is:

Target[targetname]:
interface:community at device:port!localaddress!localport:timeout:retries:backo
ff:snmpversion|postprocesssubroutine

Where the options after 'device' can be omitted, and 'interface' can be
specified in many different ways.  See the manual pages to be overwhelmed...
