Actually, we now have the ET/BWMGR running on a raq3 and expect to release a
standalone product shortly. Our product can gather and graph data by traffic
type or IP address but cannot gather stats using named virtual hosting (ie as
long as each customer/site has a unit IP address or network address it can be
controlled and graphed).

You can build a box yourself with linux and 2 ethernet cards as well.
