We use both MRTG and Nagios. I hadn't really considered Nagios for this exact need as I'm looking more at trending than at Red/Yellow/Green. This is normally where Ganglia comes to the rescue, but I'm trying to see if something helps me break out the traffic into groups without doing the work myself. Thanks Charles!

I've been using it to monitor bandwidth on an ftp server that serves up 15+ TB per month and it does everything you asked for here. Check out cacti.
