WebTrends tracks server usage, You may be thinking of WebTrack which is matured to SmartFilter from Secure Computing. I established a SmartFilter/Netscape proxy running on an HP 11.0 9000 V Class and cached 40-50% of the requests which served 2000 users and generated 5GB of http/ssl traffic through the firewall per day. The system had two interfaces, one being the proxy. The Smartfilter/proxy was the only IP allowed through the firewall, hence, any requests not going through the proxy was denied by policy on the firewall. The cache and I/O are the only areas that needed monitoring as the usage and traffic seems to double every six months for the past two years. Little if any latency/timeouts were experienced with the apps, and it worked well with VPN SmartPass and Gauntlet firewall. The database was automatically updated every Monday morn, and by all intents and purposes was extremely positioned well for our needs. Absolute control of site accesses is available. The old version reporting was the pits, but the new version looks promising.
