Hi Basil,

This is very simple.  You set up MRTG on the separate server in the same 
way as you set it up on the ixpmanager server.  Then you make the 
graphing directory available over http on the mrtg server.

Once this is done, you configure IXP Manager to use the remote server 
from the .env file, using the following config parameters:

GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_WORKDIR: the directory on the mrtg server where all 
the mrtg data is kept.

GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_LOGDIR: the address where the mrtg data can be 
accessed via http

e.g.:

GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_WORKDIR="/var/lib/mrtg"
GRAPHER_BACKEND_MRTG_LOGDIR="http://10.0.1.50/mrtg"
