David, You might want to check out the CAPTURE option on the SET SECURITY command. Below is a quote from the configuration guide:
" Capturing Traffic Flows on Specified Ports You can use the capture option in the set security acl (ip, ipx, and mac) commands to specify that packets that match the specified flows are captured and transmitted out of capture ports. You can specify capture ports using the set security acl capture-ports mod/ports... command. When you use the capture option, packets that match the specified flows are switched normally but are also captured and transmitted out of the capture ports. Capture ports do not send out all the captured traffic; they send out only the traffic belonging to the VLANs of the captured port.
