I would say yes, but you would not put network monitor in the normal position, i woud probably go with a network tap for teh server. i would probably spend the money on a higher end napatech card so not to cause issues with traffic.If you dont want to spend money on a napatech card go with a redhat install and you could possibly cover 2-3 servers also. Just my thought but i would name the server as "file share netmon XXX" and you can always scale from there also you may need to adjust the ports and protocols you are looking for.
