[rtg] Polling all interfaces, even interfaces that is down when building the list

Hi,

I read something about that rtg could mess up if it polled interfaces that was down and such a while ago.
I think what I read was a bit old though.

Anyhow, is there any problem doing this with the latest version from CVS today?

The reason for why I want to do this is because I need to track all ports since we don't know when a cable is plugged in and traffic 
starts flowing on the interface.

It's ~200 ports that we need to monitor, the targetmaker doesn't work for some reason. (It fails, can't find all ports in the switch 
or dies because it tries to find one that doesn't exist) so we have to configure the targets manually.

Regards
