Bandwidth monitoring?

I recently moved a server into my company's co-location closet, and they are planning on charging me $x/GB of bandwidth/month. My server is running Apache2, and using virtualhosts to host multiple websites. I am looking for a way to monitor the bandwidth of the box in it's entirety, and of each individual virtualhost - does anyone know of a way to do this? I need to monitor both the incoming and outgoing bandwidth, not just the outgoing(so something like awstats won't work). Thanks, Girasquid

I like the name, it would be amusing if they made a Hugin that was intrusion detection or something; no such luck.

At the core of it, what I'm looking for is a setup that will show me the overall bandwidth used by the box in it's entirety - and then have breakdowns based on which virtualhost used what.

At my work we run Paessler Router Traffic Grapher (otherwise known as PRTG Traffic Grapher) to monitor our fiber circuits. You can check that out at http://www.paessler.com/prtg
