Sorry to butt in, but would you not be able to turn on IP accounting if it
were a cisco router (I DON'T know too much about other vendors) and just
point MRTG at the accounting OIDs?  I've never actually done it myself due
to lack of need, but I've read about it and also heard it mentioned a few
times here.  Sounds like a very interesting feature.  Check up on it see
what you find...

If there is not a way to do this with MRTG does anyone know of a way to this
at all.  I know it can be done as many web hosting companies charge by the
bandwidth used, but I am at a loss as to how to do this.  The only way I can
figure using MRTG is to have a seperate router for each IP which doesn't
seem feasible or logical.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

The router can (generally) break down the statistic to each physical port.

If you need to break down the traffic to each physical machine, you have to
query each machine, by putting a SNMP-agent on it.

If you further need to break down the traffic to individual virtual hosts on
a webserver, or to individual services like http, ftp, smtp etc, you have to
rely on whatever statistics these programs can create, like logfiles or
other counters.

Sendmail, for instance, has the mailstat program, which reports ingoing and
outgoing messages and bytes totalled and for each mailer type
(smtp,uucp,local)
