Hello all once again!

I have another question I was unable to find out:  Snort has the ability to capture the traffic in pcap files.  I am 
hoping there is a way to only start capturing the traffic of a conversation that matched a rule alert?  So in orther 
words, I do not wish to save every packet on my network in my pcap files; I only wish to save packets that match a 
detected attack.  So is there a way that once an alert fires, then I can have snort begin to log all traffic relating 
to that conversation in a pcap file?

Thanks again so much!
