Perhaps I am unclear on the specifics.
Only 1 of the servers is collocated at my location.  Through the frame relay
(HSSI) interface the customer is accessing both the internet and their
collocated server.  The internet access is billable while the access to
their server is non-billable.  Also the collocated server receives web hits
from the internet at large (which is billable). 
I know I can monitor the frame ckt.(by dlci) and the collocated server (by
ip address). I need to separate the server access from the internet access
(on the dlci)to obtain a billable bandwidth avg.  Is this possible???  
This a two-part problem.
The first being resolved.  Separating the customer accessing the server from
web traffic. ip traffic - dlci traffic = billable traffic on the server.
(this portion is resolved).
The second being separating the customer accessing the server from the
customer accessing the internet.  total traffic (on dlci) - nonbillable
traffic (server access) = billable traffic across the dlci.  This is the
portion I am having the problems with  

I know that this is a weird situation and any help is appreciated.

Check out the mrtg-ipacc sub-directory in the contrib folder that is
included with MRTG. It looks like this will allow you to generate reports
based on communicating pairs of systems according to the IP ports numbers
that they are using. You should be able to break up the billable from
non-billable traffic based on IP port numbers.
