[ixpmanager] MRTG collector is on a different server

[Ian Chilton]

Hi,

It’s a looooong time since I’ve done CGI, but you wouldn’t usually 
mix your web root and cgi-bin.

I would output the red files in to a directory which is the DocumentRoot 
(or an alias) in Apache and keep your CGI stuff separate. You could also 
use Options Indexes to see a directory listing so you can browse them in 
a browser (and can limit that to your own IPs).
