Out of curiosity what are you using your netflow for? I'm asking because
sampling obviously isn't ideal when you are trying to get completely
accurate data for accounting.

Mostly for abuse tracking/corroboration. For this purpose, sampled should be good enough in most cases. If I could have full netflow, I'd like it, but it looks as if we've hit another unanticipated hardware limitation with our cisco gear.

It feels a shame using DFC's for a margin of their capacity purely because
you need the TCAM space to produce netflow.

Kind of like using Sup720-3bxls to handle a few hundred mbit/s of traffic just to be able to take full routes.
