What I do instead of querying the servers directly, is query the switch
ports they are plugged into.  I use Cisco and HP switches and they have
supported 64-bit SNMP counters for years.  For servers attached to
unmanaged switches, I poll their 32-bit counters every minute and
accept that I can't graph very high traffic rates.
