What problem are they trying to solve, where they think this is what they want? This would take a LOT of disk space and a pretty hefty database, especially if they want to retain this information for weeks or months. They'll also need a fairly clever person around to sort things out, separating the wheat of a given Web request from the chaff of random ICMP traffic and other background noise (or even more computing horsepower to try to precompute the associations between, say, "DNS lookup" and "Web request"). I can't think of any off-the-shelf product that fills this niche right off. If they really need this and nothing else will do, feel free to write it. The scary part is that some people will blissfully ignore the privacy implications and buy one, possibly making you rich in the process :D David Smith MVN.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
