It would be a better idea to run mrtg every 5 min from con. That way, not only to you sidestep the daemon issue but mrtg will generate an error email instead of ignoring the router in question. That alert message is a valuable network monitoring tool for me.
I've gotten SNMP timeout messages due to errors cycling on my Ts as much as an hour before the line went down/down and my pager went off. That alert to a potential major problem give me valuable lead time.
