Thank you for your response. Can you verify that I understand this correctly?

I will refer to the snort box as snortbox. snortbox will contain the 
following:

-iptables
-squid
-snort
-two network cards

The network will be set out as follows:

Internet --> Modem --> snortbox --> router --> local network

I would then sniff all trafic outside the router allowing me to abtain all 
traffic that I need to.

Is this correct?

P.S. Why do I need to run squid?

Thanks

Yes.  Use iptables to create a bridge and sniff on the virtual bridge
interface.
Given what you're trying to accomplish, you might redirect outgoing port
80 requests to a Squid instance running on the bridge, and thereby put a
proxy in place that will keep track of web activity for you.

Is there then a way to create a snort box the sits between the router and
the modem?
