I've updated my configuration like this:

    long-desc    =   "binds/second on master LDAP server"

    target-type  =   ldap-bind

target binds-all

queries"
    targets      =

    target-type  =   ldap-bind

    mtargets     =

targetType  ldap-binds
    ds  =   "binds-ldap"


And things are still not doing what I want:

(a) binds-all now shows individual graphs for everything, which is not what 
I wanted.  I wanted the overlayed graph I had before.  Changing the ";" to 
"," just results in errors.

(b) binds-total now shows all the graphs as overlayed, like "binds-all" 
used to do.  It is not summing up the target values to draw a single line, 
which is why I started this entire exercise in the first place.


I can fix (a) easily enough by making its definition match the binds-total 
setup, but what I really really want is a single graph showing the total 
number of searches for all my ldap servers summed together, which is what 
binds-total is supposed to be doing, right?
