[geeks] SNMP baby!

I have a puzzle.

Please regard, if you would, http://www.babcom.com:81/mrtg2/

Observe the extremely substantial sustained upload traffic from
minbar:hme0 and vorlon:ge1.  This is all backup data, and it's going to
babylon5, which has only one interface, eth0.

Now observe babylon5:eth0, and observe that all that incoming backup
traffic that, well ...  isn't there.

ifconfig shows the incoming traffic, at a steady 2,000 packets or so per
second.  Procmeter3 shows the traffic.  But to snmpd, it seems to be
invisible.

babylon5 is running Linux kernel 2.4.31 and ucd-snmp-4.2.6.

Any clues....?
