We are using MRTG in native mode (no RRDTool).  I'm aware of the integer 
constraint and am fairly certain it is not this.  I've tried graphing as 
a rate by running the cron job once per hour and multiplying the number 
of pages by 3600 in order to keep an integer. (I realize there is a 
perhour option as well.)  Alternatively, I've also tried graphing using 
a gauge so I just pass the integer to MRTG and it should store it as-is 
but it does not.

Any other thoughts?  I think we'll try upgrading the MRTG software 
before switching to RRDTool.
