Why not use 'Options[]: perminute' (without the gauge
option) to get total
DHCP requests per minute? If this is too small, the use
'Factor[]: 5' to
get the per-5min total (youd need to relabel your axis of
course). You'd
also need to be using RRDTool as the numbers would be
decimals - and youd
also need 'Options[]: integer' to make it round off to an
integer.
For this sort of thing, here we use perminute and graph the
average
requests/min or perhour if this is too small.
Alternatively, if you are more interested in total requests
per
day/week/month then use the routers2 frontend, it will
calculate these for
you.

In that order, yes, and no. You should set MaxBytes and/or
AbSMax to let
MRTG more accurately spot these spikes.

I've never use WMI, only PerfMon (via the pNSclient agent)
and it works fast
enough.
