Mm, not a bad idea actually.

One problem would be that ntop seems to gather stats from the point of
installation or the point of the last time the stats were purged.

So dumping the ntop site on a Tuesday would be OK if you installed it on
a Monday but dumping it on the Friday would capture the whole weeks
stats.

I still couldn't see what the traffic was like on a particular day
(unless I purged the stats daily)

Thanks
