I've been looking for a tool that will allow for determine what IP address is using the squid server the most. I've setup the squid server on a Fedora machine, and had two of my classrooms running with it. Getting a 40% cache hit ratio, but the College MIS department didn't like it since, all the traffic from those labs showed up coming from the Fedora machine. They want to be able to check on who is using the bandwidth when it peaks. The college has had a single T1 line for almost 5 years, with no upgrade in bandwidth. You'd think a 40% hit ratio would be worth something but no. I've looked at the all the programs with squid in them, and they allow for checking the squid log file, but not really realtime. I had also setup the squid to block the standard ports used by things like Kazaa but that again wasn't good enough. I've also setup this fedora machine 9 Ethernet port. Originally, I had a Novell server with 7 ports with each classroom having private segments before the admin MIS took over things. The machine has separate private IP blocks for each behind the firewall of the box. Only been able to use it once, ran a 100' cable to one classroom to show my networking class. Thanks. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
