Thank you to all who have responded, I feel I am in some trouble at this
point.

Here is where I am at...
Moved the main offending clients to separate IP's to the other sites
Installed MRTG (I now feel I know it quite well, spent 6 hours straight
tinkering so far) Have come to the conclusion that I don't have what it
takes to 'reprogram' my raq to monitor the data I need.

The basic problem is that 'eth0' and 'eth1' are the only devices
recording data. 'eth0:0' or 'eth0:1' have no recorded RX or TX values

This command proves it...
ifconfig -a

There is a listing for each of the 'eth0:XX' names but only the 'eth0'
has RX and TX values

My installation of MRTG is monitoring all data and again I have no idea
what each IP address is using in bandwidth.

Any further advice is very much appreciated

Regards
Tim Lawson
