netgraph & netflow

Hi all.  I'm trying to get ng_netflow to work, and I'm having a heck
of a time doing so.  So if anyone can shed some light on my problem,
please do so.  I've tried multiple configurations, and can't get it to
work right.  I can only get it to see traffic in one direction (for
example, flows from other PCs to the server.  Flows starting from the
server started by something like fetch or ssh don't show up as
sourcing from the server).  Here is the config that I thought would do
that, but it's not.

mkpeer fxp1: tee lower right
connect fxp1: fxp1:lower upper left
mkpeer fxp1:lower netflow left2right iface0
name fxp1:lower.left2right fxp1_netflow
msg fxp1_netflow: setifindex { iface=0 index=5 }
mkpeer fxp1_netflow: ksocket export inet/dgram/udp
msg fxp1_netflow:export connect inet/127.0.0.1:9800

Using this, when I run flowctl, it shows the source interface as ppp0
and sometimes sl0, which isn't even connected, and a dest interface of
fxp1.  If I switch all the "left2right"s with "right2left"s, I get
only flows going to the server...so after reading how the tee in
netgraph works, I assumed if I switched it, it would show the other
direction.

Any thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks,
--Brian
