A simple iptables rule (that doesn't do anything ?) and the small
perl-script below that I made.

2 rules that don't do anything:

iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -s network1/netmask
iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -d network1/netmask

or rules that make all traffic pass a set of rules specifically for that
network:

iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -s network1/netmask -j NET1
iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -d network1/netmask -j NET1

well... that's the simplest (not terrible efficient) way... :-)

#!/usr/bin/perl

$iptables = "/sbin/iptables";   # Adjust these to fit your site
$uptime = "/usr/bin/uptime";
$host = "whitecat";

$chain = ${ARGV[0]};

$_ = `$iptables -t filter -nvxL FORWARD | grep $chain`;
@iets = split ("\n", $_);

foreach $LINE (@iets) {
        # iptables prints source destination (so ip\s+0\/0 means out)

        if ($LINE =~ /[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\s+0\.0\.0\.0\/0/) {
                $LINE =~ s/^\s*\d+\s+(\d+).*$/$1/s;
                $out = $LINE;
                $out .= "\n";
        } else {
                $LINE =~ s/^\s*\d+\s+(\d+).*$/$1/s;
                $in = $LINE;
                $in .= "\n";
        }
}

print ($in.$out);

($uptime = `$uptime`) =~ s/^.*up (.*,[\d: ]+),.*$/$1/s;

print "$uptime\n$host\n";
