yes - why not. I do the same here on our net with IPFW count rules. In this way I divided those rules to monitor different subnets, protocols and I also monitor the bandwidth usage for some services. All this informations gets then piped through MRTG (www.mrtg.org) and produces some nice graphs - showing the used bandwidth. On the other hand it might be enough for you, if you only see what actually happened by watching the rules manually - in other words - get the output mailed from time to time. Maybe someone has a clue, if a lot of count rules (I mean really lots of them) have any 'bad' side effects on performance. So far I don't see problems with around 80 rules on PII400/128MB counting traffic from/to upstream (2.3Mbit/s) via 100MBit/s interfaces in this box. I think of doing accounting here for a /22 net (atm this is done by a linux box with ipac).
