There is as many of these as you have clients.. cacheClient is an array of
all your clients, indexed by IP address.

I don't think MRTG has any configuration syntax allowing you to specify such
MIB objects by name. You quite likely will have to use a numeric OID to
include the requested client's IP address.

I don't think MRTG really is the tool you want for plotting these values..
