Hi Matus, You have a point and seems that i will do this at the end. I was just wondering if there is another approach from the technical standpoint. Currently I am not accounting DNS at all. It is provided for free. I am accounting all other traffic though (http, etc). Since every byte is important on my setup due to high satellite charges I need to include dns also. My only concern is that when providing daily traffic reports on the wan side, which already include dns traffic of the server, the dns reported traffic will not tally with the total internal traffic when analyzed and accounted per client, which will include cache that does not consume wan traffic. But I agree, since dns is the minority of traffic, it seems not worth while tackling this as the descrepancy is not expected to be significant.

(only by reducing costs and resulting lower prices) this way your clients can pay less money for more traffic just because it was in the cache already... and you even spend your time and money to bill them less. not mentioning that DNS is rarely relevant when counting network traffic. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
