The "Virtual Netflow Interface - Local Network IP Address/Mask" setting is
confusing me also. I have a setup with one probe box (nProbe) and a
collector box (ntop). I put al kinds of IPs (probe's private/public IP,
collector's local IP, non-existant IP in the local subnet) and subnet masks
(local subnet, subnet of network that is probed) in there, but I can't seem
to notice any different behaviour from ntop.

What exactly is this used for in the code? And how does it show if you put
something wrong in there?
