I suggested exactly this to cisco a few months ago but, alas, 

they do not feel that this would be all that useful.  I personally 

feel that their IP accounting feature as it stands now is virtually 

useless if you have to account for much more than several subnets.  

We have 45 local subnets and will be hosting a state network 

comprised of god-knows-how-many subnets in the near future.  

There's just no way to do accounting strictly on a host basis on 

this scale.
