That's bad news for me, but I understand the motivations.  sFlow -> NetFlow
conversion seems readily available using sflowtool, but I'm not having the
same success in finding a tool that does NetFlow -> sFlow conversion.  I
was hoping to do output to snort (as was mentioned by Brent van Dussen in
your "Traffic Accounting" panel at NANOG 56), however, I'm unsure of how to
get NetFlow data from pmacct exported to snort without the use of
sflowtools tcpdump output.  I'd be open to any ideas you might have. :)

Thanks,
Brian
