I do this in a crude sort of way by periodically looking at the output of
- ifconfig
- top or free
- /etc/messages (echoed to console 7)

Should be adequate for most things, unless your usage and/or number of
clients is out of the ordinary. Look at ifconfig output for the interfaces.
'dropped' and 'overruns' should be essentially 0. 'errors' should be no more
then a few percent of RX/TX, ideally much less then 1 percent.
How many nodes on each network are using IP masq?
