argus-server: argus interface monitoring confusion

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Steve,
    Yes we could do that, but the consensus
on the list is that there is never a reason for
the same argus to read the same interface twice.
Now there is a lot of reason to have two argi
read the same interface, but not the same argus.

   Can you think of a scenario where this would
reasonable?

Carter
