Slickest way to capture all packets inbound and outbound for a specific IP address, or range?

I'm curious what the best way would be to capture all packets inbound or
outbound for a specific IP address or range of IP addresses would be?  The
scenario would be this .. 

I suspect an IP address of being involved in an intrusion into an
application on my network.  The relevant system has been patched, but I
would still like to capture the full packets for any inbound and outbound
activity for that IP address on a machine outside of my firewall.

Would Snort be a good way to do this, or is there a quicker/slimmer
solution?

Thanks!

Mark
