This all depends on what kind of detail you need.
ipchains -L -M
This will give you a list of every MASQed connection but no traffic
counts.
ipchains -L forward
This will give you the byte counts for ALL MASQed connections
but not the individual ones.
Beyond that, you might want to either setup a sniffer on the
MASQ box (can be intrusive either legally or performance)
or you might want to look into the "BSD Process accounting"
feature of Linux. Though I can't help you with this,
do a "man sa" for some ideas or search the web.
Anyone else have any tips?
