Can you go into a bit more detail here? I'd like to just have MRTG-style
graphs for each IP address. I'll admit that I haven't looked into this
in great detail, but I thought MRTG just let you see bandwidth to a
switch port (i.e. server), not an IP address.

I'd like to give my customers at-a-glance information about their
current bandwidth usage as well as an option of what to do once that
limit is reached. Should I try installing MRTG, or is there something
else I should be looking at? Do Plesk or Ensim offer the ability to have
customers pick what happens once the customer's bandwidth limit is
reached?

I have a stock Red Hat box (our database server) that I can install MRTG
on, but I'm not sure how to monitor other boxes from there. I'd
appreciate any information anyone on this list can give me.

Thanks,
