I use multiple .cfg files as well and I use Mr Daemon to kick them off at different times to even up the load on the processor (Win2K system). Mr. Daemon can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/mrtg_daemon/Main.html
The biggest advantage of using Mr. Daemon is that you don't have to stop and restart wperl every time you make a change. Mr. Daemon provides 4 different timers that can be started at different times with the same period or they can have different periods. Now, whenever I make a cfg change all I have to do is save the .cfg file and the next cycle uses the new .cfg data.

Yes it is possible. It is even possible to have different MRTGs running at different intervals with separate configs. You just need to tell MRTG what config to use. One problem I see with the way Brett does it is that if you put anything other than WorkDir (like IconDir), you need all the special Dir directives. Having WorkDir overrides everything else. I do a little of both. I have a few MRTGs running, each with a separate config. Most are built with included files, which makes administration a TON easier.

I find the easiest way to maintain my setup is to have a very basic and short mrtg.cfg (defining WorkDir and a few other options) and then have seperate configuration files for different hosts/routers and use the "Include" global parameter. So my mrtg.cfg looks like: -- WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg/ IconDir: /var/www/html/mrtg/ Refresh: 300 Include: /usr/local/mrtg-2.9.25/mrtg-rrd-host1.cfg Include: /usr/local/mrtg-2.9.25/mrtg-rrd-host2.cfg Include: /usr/local/mrtg-2.9.25/mrtg-rrd-host3.cfg Include: /usr/local/mrtg-2.9.25/mrtg-rrd-router1.cfg Options[_]: bits,growright RunAsDaemon: Yes PathAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.39/bin/ LibAdd: /usr/local/rrdtool-1.0.39/lib/perl/ LogFormat: rrdtool -- Then I use "14all.cgi" to view the different configuration files. Very simple to setup and once setup, requires no further administering. Oh, almost forgot, you can only define 1 WorkDir (as its a global parameter) but you can specify different directories for the files). It's all outlined in the manual.
