To expand on this slightly, if you're configuring MRTG from IXP Manager 
then you can run it on any server. You just need to expose the MRTG 
directory over a web server URL and provide the base path as 
http[s]://monitor.example.com/mrtg (rather than a local file system path 
such as /srv/mrtg).

You obviously need to secure this (by IP of the IXP manager server for 
example).

We are working on a a more generic graphing backend that will work with 
more than MRTG/log (sponsored by a bounty from DE-CIX). But either way, 
IXP Manager will need to dictate the graphing backend's configuration / 
format so it can pull the right information.
