Re: [LARTC] Monitoring traffic

["Alex" <alex@hostingcenter.ro>]

This approach is not good for me because I curently have 90 clients to count
traffic for and I expect another 50 in the next month, maybe more. I have
used this script that you say, but it would be a pain to implement that for
so many clients adn it would also put a good amount of load on the machine
running this setup. So I need something else... this works, but I should
create specific mrtg.cfg files for each client ( I don't think I can specify
htmldir and such... for every entry in mrtg.cfg) adn this is another issue
besides the most important one, THE LOAD!

Thanks anyway.....but maybe some of you know any better solutions?
