Ok, I've read the Hobbit + MRTG page.  Now, question... I know I need
to run mrtg on each machine that I'm monitoring BUT what I'm unsure
of is how does Hobbit know about this data?  IE do all the RRD files
need 
to be copied over at some point to the display server?  
WHAT?  MRTG only needs to be running on the collection server.
SNMP needs to be running on the remote machine.  You need to read some

MRTG docs to figure out what MRTG can do, and there is no reason to run MRTG on every machine you monitor.  I'd get shot if I asked to run MRTG on all 10,000 or so servers I'm monitoring...
