Hobbit + MRTG

I'd still really like to see a successful configuration that monitors
Cisco routers and switches. 
I've yet to be able to display the graphs for the few with successful data
collection; most of them fail and we're fairly certain it has nothing to do
with ACLs.

I was able to collect data for, which are few, and mo

Ok, that begs the question then.  Is anyone here using Hobbit + MRTG to monitor bandwidth of multiple servers?  If so, how are you doing it?  
IIRC, MRTG uses snmp to grab the data from the machine.  Is it possible to have mrtg on one machine poll many boxes every 5 minutes?  Or is it better to copy the files over to the display server every so often? 
Finally, what about a client ext script that sent the current bandwidth and then hobbit stores it as a CSV graph or just as a standard external script + rrd data file?

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?

It's not very clear in the documentation as to if this scales to running
MRTG on multiple boxes that you're already monitoring and if hobbit will
actually display the graphs and if so, how specifically it will do it.

The only thing Hobbit does about MRTG is to use the RRD files generated
by MRTG and show them on the "trends" page for each host. So yes, those
files will need to be copied over to the Hobbit server, specifically to
the ~hobbit/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ directory.
