Hey all, I wanted to let you all know the hex thing worked out for me. Thanks again. I had another question though that was sparked by Ionut Gogu's question on monitoring. I setup and installed ntop for this purpose and noticed that we have so much traffic it is killing the machine. We have 1 GB of ram in there and it is not enough. It still overflows to the swap file and eats about half that as well. There are approximately 5000 connections setup over a bridge being controlled by tc. Is there a way to get ntop to run cleaner or is there a better alternative out there that someone knows about? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
