Thanks! I do use iptables for a firewal + NAT but didn't realize it could
be used for accounting as well. Will check it out.

In that case net-snmp, ntop or using iptables to do accounting (not
used ipt personally for accounting so no idea on its feature set in
that regard) will give you what you need.

net-snmp means you can use your existing mrtg experience,
ntop gives you some pretty nice stats and remote 9web) access if you
enable it,
ipt - not a clue when you use it for accounting - firewalling, nat and
packet mangling/marking is more my area of knowlege for ipt.

Here's a link to a script you can run with cron to
monitor the bandwidth tx/rx of a server:

should work with any distribution.
