I know.  But it would be nice to have the web interface written in PHP for
easy modification.  If netsaint stored the configs in a database, it would
make life much easier.  It could also store it's collected data in the DB
for running nice querie's through a PHP page.  Set it up to grab router
bandwidth stats every 5 minutes and dump it in the DB, and generate pretty
graphs dynamically.  You'd obviously still have a little daemon that runs to
control probes and gather data.
