measuring MB transmitted via ipfw is what i do....i wrote a perl script to grab the numbers and store them in a db file. i also have the script generate a web page for the specific customer that gets transfered to a web server on a daily basis so that the customers can see how much they have transmitted for the month on any given day....it shouldn't be too much of a problem to use a different database to store the info...
