Ben,

I used to run mrtg against an Ascend Pipeline (as well as some other things)

what I struck once, was something like what you describe, one of my
interfaces was no longer showing any traffic

eventually, I found out that Ascend would sometimes change interfaces,
and, I had to define a new target for mrtg

the workaround was to poll all potential interface that Ascend could be
using, and, sum it up (or something like that.... sorry, this was like a
few years ago...) I think... it was like target1+target2+target3 kind of
stuff

that system is no longer in use, so, can't look it up right now...

so, your problem could be something like this as well

hth,
