One client I contracted for last year did a lot of traffic, allow me; with kernel 2.0.x, ip accounting overflowed every thirty minutes on average. We reduced logging to a bare minimum and rotated several times a day and fiddled up a few little c programs to handle the rollovers. When you're forced to deal with industrial strength issues, your research leads to several neat solutions. After all...this is Linux isn't it? :)
