The best guide for setting this up is Steve Shipway's book.

Yes.  The basic pattern is to create a separate cfg file for each router,
and have a master file that includes all of the others.

For example, on my system I have a file called "common.cfg" that has all of
the site-wde configuration parameters (LoadMibs, LogDir, HTMLDir, ImageDir,
forks, and the like).  Then I have a mrtg.cfg file that I generate from a
database query that includes all of the other files, as such:
$ head mrtg.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/common.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-net-1.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-net-2.cfg
Include: /var/mrtg/cfg/811/811-net-215.cfg

I use a hierarchical directory structure for the benefit of routers2.cgi

But my environment is Linux.  For tips for running all of this under
Windows, get the book.
