Re: user internet usage monitoring

Deploy a proxy (eg. Squid, ISA, Netcache) that will allow you to collect web-related logs and this should allow you to 
churn out Internet usage reports. 
Personally, I have tried out the eTrust solution before and I feel that it is neither a best-of-breed IDS nor URL 
filtering product. Unless budget is an issue, I suggest you substitute your eTrust URL filtering with a more robust 
appliance-based solution (like Webwasher, Finjan, etc) and get a superior IDS (TippingPoint, IntruShield, etc).
The content security appliance will be able to provide Internet usage statistics too.
