Hi, it’s been a while so if I’m wrong I’m happy to be corrected but in your case you’d sample on the input side of each of the individual interfaces facing the customer.

The load shouldn’t be an issue providing you’re running later code with out the JFlow related bugs such as the PR (I don’t recall the number) for the bug where flow processing blocked the PFE from accepting routes from the RE.  These were pre 13.2 on the 480 if memory serves but this is going back in the haze a bit so feel free to sanity check.  Inline JFlow does not have the same impact to processing of other platforms so you can be less concerned. 
	The other thing to remember is that all sampling takes place at 1:1 and the sampling rate knob is more of a scaling factor rather than actually adjusting the rate of sampling.  Setting this to 1/1 instead of 1/1000 or what ever value will help the data appear correctly.

Thanks
Scott
