All,

Perhaps I'm dim, but I think I'm missing something. I've read the man page
for ntop, and can't seem to figure this out - I don't think that the -o
option is correct, but I'm willing to listen to an alternative opinion.

I am very interested in tracking the remote sites' traffic, and the local
traffic, but I've found that ntop doesn't do well on our network with the
volume of Internet traffic, so I'm using --track-local-hosts to keep the
excess traffic from being logged, and using --local-subnet to tell ntop to
keep track of the foreign offices who are attached to us via our IPSec
tunnels.

I've got a host at 192.168.61.8 (in AU) that seems to have had attached to
it the MAC address for our firewall locally (in the US, and the firewall's
address is 192.168.6.9), and ntop is reporting all traffic against the MAC
address of the firewall as coming from the remote host. The ntop host is on
a hub with the firewall, so it's listening to all of the traffic transiting
the firewall.

Is there any way I can separate out the traffic? Does this require the use
of the -o option?

ntop.conf, minus the comments, is below my .sig
