Not unless every single machine has its own interface on the router, or you have a managed switch that lets you get SNMP counters for each of its ports. "ntop" is quite handy for monitoring stuff on the network, and may help you pin things down if you lack a managed switch. You'd need to install it on the gateway box for maximum effect. -- http://strugglers.net/wiki/Xen_hosting -- A Xen VPS hosting hobby Encrypted mail welcome - keyid 0x604DE5DB
