Wait a minute here ... you want a rule for each IP ? Depending on the stats you need I suggest you strongly look into the following: ntop -- provides a web GUI for real time monitoring. Using it now on a firewall box to monitoring traffic on each interface. Adv .. provides great states , very detailed Dis .. seems to be some over header ... uses a DDR db :( You can use curl to pull the stats nightly and save them to a text file. Then create a little PHP scritp to provide you with the numbers. Now you will have stats for as long as you want. iptraf -- not bad ... detail is low. Adv ... NO over head and works great on a work station or 1 interface machine. It takes a bit to setup because you have to create all the filters your self. Dis ... out is simple ... a php script to produce a nice web GUI is needed. Nagios -- http://www.nagios.org/ Could be over kill depending on what you want ... this is more of a network monitoring tool. Really not designed to be run with one machine in mind. IPFM -- not bad .. very simple: example: HOST IN OUT TOTAL host1.domain.com 12345 6666684 6679029 MRTG for total traffic accounts only Bandwidthd -- not bad ... currently testing it. Seems to provide web png files much like MRTG but does provide host info. I do not believe you are able to save the data though :( Michael.
