Yes it can, I have two such setups at work doing just this - one was installed purely to do this. Add a bit of scripting and rrdtool and you can have some very useful graphs. IIRC there is a page on the Shorewall site covering accounting, however, it isn't that clear (or it wasn't when I first set this up) about configuring accounting for lots of IPs. I'm busy tomorrow at work, but I'll try and post a bit more about our setup later. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
