I had heard that this was the standard way of proceeding and was quite amazed there exists no (de-facto) utility to capture bandwidth consumption details for a name based web server other than analog et al. I seem to remember someone mentioning once that a possible way of proceeding would be to capture the bandwidth stats at the router/border machine, however obviously this would require that the router was capable of doing such logging based on fully qualified domain names and not IP addresses. No doubt a utility exists... if not, thank the lord Larry Wall gave us Perl :) -- Favourite pickup line: Hey baby, wanna synchronize sequence numbers?
