If you use a linux-box for firewall, you can do make one firewall rule
for each class of data you want to do accounting for. (pr port, host or

The ucd-snmp deamon is able to publish ipchains accounting for snmp.

Yes, exactly. Of course the hardware firewall is kind of redundant, but
that's your choice.

Possible you can do the same thing with NT, but I don't know how.
