Doesn't have to be...
I have an old PentiumPro 200 box I pulled out of the uninstalled server pile a couple of years ago that has an Adaptec 4-port NIC in it attached to my DMZ, Internet, Internal LAN running Linux and ethereal (Total cost = $0.00). Only 1 port has an IP address (on the Internal LAN).
I can connect to the box with SSH and fire up ethereal on any of the ports and capture traffic with no problems - as you said a real help in troubleshooting problems...

Of course if you are using delay_pools and have properly tuned/tweaked it,
then it may be possible that something not going through your proxy is
causing the spike Like you said a virus, or yesterday, in our case, a user
was doing an ftp to our public ftp server which does not go through the
proxy. That was only traceable/troubleshootable because the network group
has mirrored the port to the internet and put a sniffer on it. Great
product but apparently a lot of money.
