I can certainly understand that. In my setup I tried to have multiple
virtual interfaces listening on the same udp port. This is because you
can only configure a Cisco device to send netflow data to one IP
address on one port (afaik you can't send to more than one collector
ip or udp port). Or maybe anyone knows of a simple way to send netflow
streams from  Cisco to more than one udp port?

So at this point there is no way for me to break down netflow data by
segments unless they come from deferent routers to different ports on
ntop server.

The other alternative solution, IMHO, to Cisco's (or ntop's)
limitation is to use one(or two) of the flow-tools programs to collect
and resend the same netflow data to different udp ports on ntop
server. If anybody has a simpler idea/workaround I'll be happy to
know.

I appreciate all the input/clarification provided so far.
Thanks,
