Hi all,

I am in the midst of setting up bandwidth monitoring for all my domains and 
IPs. To do this I will be using IPFW counter rules and ipa.

Question: I have about 250 domains on each box. to monitor all of them, I 
would need to set up over 500 counter rules, how well will ipfw and freebsd 
4.10 and up) handle this?
