We use mod_watch <http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_watch-3.18/index.shtml>
to gather accounting data for name-based virtual hosts.
Basically, you get a simple html table with SNMP-like "interface" counters
for each virtual host. They also provide a perl script to import this data
into mrtg, and I wrote a simple one to store the accounting data in our
homebrew mysql accounting database.

It's not perfect, since HTTP headers (neither received nor sent) are not
accounted, but still better than a script digging through each vhosts
acess_log.
