Bill:
What I'm trying to do is exactly the opposite:
Log requests users on my network make to web and news servers outside my
network.
I can do packet logging at the firewall, but that generates an enormous
amount of info very quickly; what I really want to see is who on my
network is accessing www.xxx.com, etc., and how much time some people
are spending surfing the net.
I use IP masq, and force all my internal users to use the local bind, so
all requests go through it. Now I just need to figure out how to log
them.
Maybe what I'm looking for is some logging utility?
Any ideas?
