Hi Arf,

I have installed MRTG on my RAQ3i, and it works perfectly with the site that
has its own IP. Actually, the cfgmaker refused to work, and hence I made the
cfg file manually. However, I also need to software to run for the sites
that are shareing an IP address. When I tried to make the cfg file (manually
and automatically), it continuousely generates errors and does not run !
Could you explain the cfg file or perhaps give me a sample cfg file, so that
I can see who it works with multiple name based sites.

Thanks
