The logical place would be the external firewall. Even there you will need to parse the firewalls logs to collect the data you want to look at. In a normal setup where squid is used the firewall is typically set to block all http requests unless they come from the proxy server. If this is not done then the proxy server may go unused and you won't get any benefit from having it in place. You may need to explain more of what it is you really want to do and the environment you are trying to set this up in. Without a choke point to log and view the traffic, which implies parsing a log file at some point, there are no real good ways to get what I think you are asking. Trying to sniff traffic on the fly is difficult at best and still requires a central choke point. Okay, let's try it this way. There's an app that is available called SPECTRE that will monitor usage as well as take screenshots of the desktop at set intervals. Is there anything like that for linux? - -- Scot L.
