You can check out something called 'fipra'... Me and a friend wrote that
to log ip traffic into an mysql database at high speeds.. It can handle
thousands of ip's at at least 60Mbs reliably, all really depending on the
speed of the machine it's running on. It's in two parts, one kernel patch
and one daemon pushing the data to the sql server. Currently it only
handles ipv4, a new version is coming in a while.
You can find it at http://www.umplug.org/fipra, or if that site is
down just search on the net for it.
Hope this can help.
