I'm not sure it's doable. I know that you can set syslog to serve to
another *nix server, but you need a receiver on the other end of the data
stream. I dunno if there's such a beast for windoh$.

If someone sharing your trunk was doing something that requires massive
bandwidth without setting QoS, they could be hogging the pipe.

Run snort outside your firewall to see what's happening. It requires your
NET_IFACE be in promiscious mode, so don't use a precious machine for it.
