I don't like this because you end up serializing all your requests. Especially when you've got the possibility of SNMP timeouts, you could easily take much, much longer than you'd like to do your polling. With multiple independent config files, I've found that decently-sized servers can simply run all of them in parallel and finish sooner. > 4) Lastly, what server should I have (cpu,ram,disks) in order to gather > 5000 port stats using MRTG (not RRDTools)? How many devices for these ports?
