thinking of building a cfg directory under the mrtg. It looks like each device

perhaps one master page with a link to all the individual pages I’ve made with
indexmaker. What did you do?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

use rrdtool and Routers2.cgi and stop rebuilding those .png files every 5 minutes.
Huge waste of CPU cycles and severely limits the number of devices you can
monitor using mrtg.<br>
