Sorry for the arguably WOT post. Well here's the problem. I'm over my bandwidth quota. My ISP changed how it did its billing in December, to squeeze the sponge a little harder if you will, and all of a sudden I am a bustin' out of my quota!!!
Given all of this extra traffic - I need to do some accounting to see what is generating the traffic. What are my options? I need something quick and dirty, and hopefully not too time consuming or expensive. Actually my budget is $0.00 or thereabouts. I want to be able to generate a daily detail report with the following information: IP Address. service. [http, ftp, mail, other, browsing] domain. in traffic (in KB) out traffic (in KB) The network is simply - 4 boxes. 1) Network Proxy: so the boys in the office can cruise the net. 2) Exchange Server (mail: one domain) 3) Web Server / DNS Server (multiple domains) 4) Web Server / DNS Server / Mail Server (multiple domains) All connected to the same hub that the Internet connection comes in on. The proxy connects to the Private network with a second NIC. Can I set up a sniffer to do my reporting? Can I setup a filter on IIS to do my resource utilization logging? As an aside - I need a new proxy server, and I was thinking of installing a linux box - any suggestions on products or builds? I will install on a p200 or maybe a pII333. Hope I make sense. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
