As long as your monitor is able to address the end device then it 
shouldn't cause any issues. The only thing I'd expect to be wrong 
would be any IP addresses read by SNMP which wouldn't match the 
target IP address due to the NAT. But since you are unlikely to be 
reading IP addresses with MRTG, I don't see this being a problem !

WANTED: "Software CD ROM Kit" for Canon CLBP 360-PS printer (Canon 
part no RH6-3612, or possibly RH6-3810, or RH6-3610 might do). I've a 
dead HD and need this CD so I can replace the disk and re-install the 
printer OS on it. If anyone knows where I might get hold of one I'd 
be grateful - requests to Canon drew a blank, it's been out of 
support for years.
Alternatively, if anyone has one of these and would let me image 
their hard disk ...
