Snort Setup Scenario - Suggestions

["Naman Latif" <naman.latif () inamed com>]

Hi,
We are setting up snort for our DMZ Traffic. Interface for sniffing will
have no IP Address and a second interface will be used for management
etc.
I want to log to my-sql database, which will be on a different machine.

1. Will it effect performance if I send the logs to my-sql running on a
different machine ?
2. Do I still need to install my-sql on the Snort-Machine to compile it
with my-sql support, even though I won't be using it ?
3. Is it possible to sniff and generate alerts (and log) for the whole
subnet but Only log "traffic\packets" for some specific IP Addresses ?

Regards \\ Naman
