I've always like ipac for this sort of thing. It just uses
standard ipchains.
on debian apt-get install ipac
then play with /etc/ipac.conf
basicaly you add rules like
# Name of rule|direction|interface|protocol|source|destination
out eth0 | out | eth0 | all | |
and you can be more or less specific ie traffic from your DMZ vs the
internet etc
then you just use ipacsum to get back the results
eg below gives this months stats so far
johnf@odie:/etc/mail$ ipacsum -s 20010301 -e 20010316
