If you are not sold on MRTG handling your data logging, you could switch to RRDTool and use Routers2 as a front-end. It can grey out any unknown data points so there is no confusion about 0, unknown and last known.

This option sounds hopeful "--ifref=ip" for running with cfgmaker. Will try these and get back ASAP. -- Rohit V.
