Good suggestion.  What I need to count is bandwidth use per zone.  My
initial plan was to collect the data via Flow Accounting and then month
troll the data counting up all transactions to or from the zone IP
address and then reporting that.  To some extent I think that using
IPFilter might be more complex than Flow Accounting, but I'll examine
both option.  My own lack of experience with IPFilter would be the
biggest burden.
