Thanks, Les, and to Mike who suggested this to me off list:

Reading through their faq, and some white papers I found, this utility looks 
like it has everything I'm looking for. However, I had a problem with running 
it. I got an FC4 rpm from dries and it seemed to install fine. I did the 
first time run with minimal options to set the admin password and user, and 
that seemed fine. I did a minimalist configuration of /etc/ntop.conf. But, 
when I try to run it, I got this, and I'm not sure what it's saying:

ntop @/etc/ntop.conf
   Processing file /etc/ntop.conf for parameters...
