Even still...being able to easily calc the monthly usage and have it all show on one page for all domains is very useful...

Tom said he wants to "limit" bandwidth. That means he wants to make sure a given machine can't use, for example, more than 256kbps. You don't measure bandwidth over time; that's transit. Put another way, bandwidth is the size of the pipe; traffic is how much data you pump through it. If your house as a four inch water pipe it can certainly use more water at once than your neighbor's house with a 1" water pipe. But... flushing a toilet will still use only five gallons (unless you're in California, where it will only use 1.6 gallons, but that's another story). Here's what Tom (and I) are talking about... We own a four inch pipe. We want to create four virtual one inch pipes inside that four inch pipe. You don't do that after the fact. I think Dennis may have the right idea, but I don't know if we want to spend $3,000, so perhaps we'll be interested in the software.
