I was wondering about this after reading Paul's reply. (I was thinking you could do it via bridging I.E. brctl.) Then I saw Robin's reply. (Then thinking if Linux can do STP and VLAN tagging it should be able to do port mirroring.) I did some looking and I found this thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/146797 . After reading all of that tread, it looks like port mirroring is going to be included in the Linux Kernel / Network stack. The only problem is, it's very new and not ready for production use.
