Yeah, when you wrote that solution like that I was afraid that's what you'd say.  :)

No problem, at least it's workable even if it is a PITA.

How would that work when there are varying numbers of interfaces?  I

10?
I was afraid You were going to ask that question. Yes, it will break because some of those files just do not exist, and RRDtool cannot handle that.

I don't have an automatic solution for that. You can define multiple graph definitions - one for each number of interfaces - and then use the "TRENDS" setting for each host to determine which one will be shown. Not pretty, but it works.
