That's ok for a few, but it won't scale terribly well.  I have over 5000
points that I am currently monitoring with mrtg.  I have that broken
down into a three tier directory structure (region - site - device),
with all of the thresholds and alerting from bbmrtg.pl.

Is there a way I can point to my existing rrd directory structure for
the graphing bit - which bbmrtg.pl doesn't do terribly well - but still
keep my stuff in its nice hierarchy?
