There are two modes to MRTG.  1) native 2)rrd

You stated you are now using rrd databases.  In native mode, yes mrtg 
did more, but using alot more CPU and was therefore limited as to how 
many devices it scan.  In rrd mode, all MRTG does in grab the data and 
put it in databases. Indexmaker was the tool to make your html/cgi files 
in native mode(I think, I use rrd and routers2 now).
