How to track bandwidth on shared(virtual) and dedicated servers ?

I am starting up a webhosting business, which will be going live in around 6 months, when I have the leased line installed....

Anyhow, I will be offering shared hosting, on 2k server and Linux, and dedicated servers, which are Linux, RaQ and windows 2k servers.

All switches are SNMP compatible, if this helps with the bandwidth monitoring for dedicated boxes.

But how do I track bandwidth on virtual sites ? Reading log files is too teadeous, although I will be logging transfer (usual W3C logging for windows, not sure about Linux yet)....

How would this be done for shared hosting (virtual servers) ?? How could this be done on dedicated servers ? I presume for dedicated servers you would use SNMP tools for logging the bandwidth used on that particular port.

Can someone suggest some software titles ? Thanx !!!
