Hi all,

I need to log the traffic each local IP in a NAT'ed network generates
per day.

Unfortunately, the environment is rather restricted and compiling new
software is not an option. Thus, I am wondering if I can abuse iptables,
which is in use anyway, to log for me, as well.

The end result should be a log which contains IP, date and traffic
generated. I don't really care about the output format as I will perl it
into the format I need, anyway.

Polling iptables does not look to me a good option. The way to go should be ulogd2 or or the conntrackd in its simple statistics mode.
