A big issue with mrtg monitoring data is the expiry time.
All these nice graphs you can create are only valid for a
short time. If you do not take special action some web-
browsers will not notice this and you may end up with peo-
ple seeing old data because of caching issues.
The apache module mod_expire allows you to setup special
expiry properties for individual file.
Here is an example for how this may look for an mrtg web
directory. The configuration directives can be stored
into a _._h_t_a_c_c_e_s_s file.

# activate it when compiling the httpd ...)
