What about traffic that doesn't go through squid? >So I'm wandering if anyone knows of any problems with Iptables/Netfilter >not properly recording packet length, or the ULOG target not properly >logging every packet? netfilter byte counts are good enough for our billing purposes. I don't believe them to not properly record packet length. I think ULOG and mysql is going to place unnecessary overhead on the machine doing the counting though, but I am not familiar with its use. I use ipac-ng to periodically take the byte counts from netfilter and put them into a database; ULOG sounds to me like it'll try and log the size of every packet that comes through the machine at the time it comes through, which is a lot of transactions per second. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
