More generally my response: We had MRTG before switching to RRDTool for a lot of
servers. Not only the performance but mainly the overloaded cfg file with
redundancies (by MRTG needing HTML code in the cfg file) forced us to leave MRTG
complete. There was also a need that other not that experienced administrators
have to add or remove devices. This is hazardous if someone does not know how to
distinguish HTML from configuration. If you only have a small site which less
devices stay with one. But if you expect growing numbers devide it in more cfg -
or best - leave MRTG.

Bye, Ecaroh
