RE: Monitor XP (ICS ) client connections?

[Meidinger Chris <chris.meidinger () badenit de>]

Hi Dave,

is he looking for specific sites, or does he want to analyze traffic to
check what his employees are up to? If he is looking for specific sites, a
simple logging proxy server with grep would be the simplest. If he needs
some kind of interface where he can click through the sites that his
employees have visited, then I think Edward Miller's suggestions should be
fine.

It just depends what he is monitoring for.

Cheers,

Chris Meidinger
