If I use rrdfetch along with  my senerio I see all of the actual values.

For example:


rrdgraph         1/1/2001  -  3/17/2001
    The graph for 1/15 - 1pm  would equal 70 pages
 and the
   rrdfetch tool will report  140 for the same date and time. (1/15 -1pm)

This is crazy!!!

I create my RRD's  with the same size for the  AVERAGES and MAX data.
So no matter what width/time frame I select I should see the correct data.
