Bandwidth monitor for a server with many virtual hosts

[Fernando Duran]

Hello,

If you clients have different ip addresses then you
can easily use any of the many bandwidth monitoring
tools like mrtg.org, ntop.org, cacti.net etc. There
are other more light-weighted programs without the
fancy graphs.

If you use virtual hosting in apache then you can
measure http traffic with an apache log parsing/stat
tool like awstat or webalizer, of course this won't
account for mail/scp traffic.
