I looked at that, but a) the wanidle interface defaults to 0 traffic and
b) it still moves around between reboots.

Some people had recommended summing interfaces, but that doesn't give me
an accurate reading of the bits passing over the pipe (especially if
they're config'd for multicast, which they are)

I remember hearing that Ascend had a fix for 'roaming' interface
numbers... something like you could lock interfaces down at an SNMP
level, or use an OID to walk the int table and pull out the appropriate
one by name (ie0). Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks again in advance,
