I'm going from memory here, but depending on your budget it may not be
practical to log all IP traffic based upon the domain name.

Basically, the information you need (ie the domain name) is wrapped up
within the IP packet during transmission and is not contained in the IP
headers.

To get at this information you need a Layer 3 Switch  which actually
disassembles each packet going through it and can be configured to record
activity on a per domain name basis (and lots of other funky uses).

AFAIK this is the only way to track ALL traffic to ALL protocols running
behind a particular domain name.

Alternately you could implement the same process in software (there are
proably tools out there that can do this) but such a machine would probably
not scale too well under load (cost/performance)...

The downside to the hardware route is the cost, which can be anything
upwards of $10K for a single switch.

for more information and a good starting point...

Hope this helps,
