...however, it _is_ possible to hang an ip-less bridge outside the firewall and run a 3'rd wire inside and view ntop on that. ..tested a year ago on a Duron 1.2GHz with 128MB ram, that also did bandwidth throttling for my isp, only problem was ntop stability. ;-) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
