On the gateway box (or any box running with prmicous mode) add the following
line to rc.fw:

iplist="1 21 24 33 38 51 84 100"

for aa in $iplist
	do
	/sbin/iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.1.$aa
done

To list the accounting data:

iptables -L -v -x --line-numbers|grep "^[0-9]"|awk '{print $2 "\t" $8}'

There are better ways to do ip accounting under Linux, search freshmeat,net for
packaged solutions.
