Re: No way. Imagine the overhead... I'm thinking with all the scanning, there would be a performance hit somewhere if you count every single connection and put it into a database etc...so yeah you're right, it would have to be extremely basic info they want like IP/Time and a user. |

With a hub, the overhead would be non-existent really. You just record everything 24/7 and then sort out the stuff you need.
You are right though, this server that is recording and processing everything would need massive hard drive space and have to be running 24/7 without *any* downtime. Yeah right, that just means you need two servers then and then somewhere to keep backups of the data in case one of them dies.
It's like trying to tape every cable channel 24/7 on a computer. It's possible, but it's going to be very expensive and time wasting.
