Assuming you mean ALL the traffic to a host, not just the traffic that goes
through the gateway to and from it, the only solution I know of is to run a
packet sniffer. tcpdump is the best known of them, though there are others.
Personally, I wouldn't do this on a gateway host -- the info that a sniffer
accumulates is valuable for break-in efforts, and I'd want it only on a VERY
secure host (such as whatever you use for system management).

Debian includes tcpdump . I don't know about other distributions.
