Well one way would be to take a box with two nics and install FreeBSD on it.
Enable bridge mode then setup ipfw to do a count for each ip in the lab.

The nice thing about a gateway in bridge mode is that it will not be 'seen' from
a network point of view.
It could be called a man in the middle.

I've used that to figure out what was going on on a network.

or when there has been a suspect server somewhere.

if you a looking for a nice little box to run as a gateway, i would suggest
looking at http://www.soekris.com
