bandwidth monitoring based on destination IP address

Hi,

I have a customer who wants to monitor his      bandwidth based on
destination IP - ideally I would have liked to use MRTG (free, easy to set
up, works well), but am not sure if MRTG can pull data off a Cisco router /
PIX firewall via SNMP that will breakdown the usage based on L3 destination.
I figured if nothing else works, I could use brute force - sniff all the
traffic and filter based on destination IP and packet size - somehow, that
doesn't seem like it would be too much fun. I was hoping, with the wealth of
experience and knowledge in this group, someone would have a more civil
solution to this. Thanks
