You're looking for taps.  There is a pretty good article on SecurityFocus last week on this very subject (also has 
links to vendors).  Check it out here:

Subject: [Snort-users] Network traffic forwarder (hardware device)


Hello everyone,
 
            I know some of you have told me this before, but I am asking again.  Can you send me a URL of a company 
that makes a device which forwards (actually duplicates) the network traffic.  I saw one before, it has one RJ-45 input 
and two outputs; one to say your firewall and the other to a snort machine.  I need one of these so I can see all of 
the nasty port scans on my snort box before they hit my netfilter firewall, which drops scans before snort can take 
effect.
            Thanks in advance.
 
Mike
