So my first question is:  Is there some other tool that is a better choice, and if so which?


You could use something that generates netflow records and a netflow collector or Argus.  You could also give Bro-IDS a 
try (I'm one of the developers).  The output you're looking for can be found in our conn logs.  You can download a 
binary package from our website too:
        http://www.bro-ids.org/download/#binarypackages

If you're just interested in getting the conn logs, you should be to run (with the appropriate interface):
        sudo bro -i eth0

It will start creating logs in your current working directory.
