Sure, just drag me into this ;) Sorry to say that any free off the shelf software I have seen do this does not work well with content. The whitelist idea is the safest and most effective, even if it cuts off good pages it is easy to update on request. I use the API in my proxy and feed the data stream thru a Perl script to rewrite WWW pages and add my banners. Because everyone on the web writes crappy non-standard HTML I have trouble with my own scripts being able to identify HTML content as it streams thru. I think that any proxy should have something similar as a feature since it is just STDIN STDOUT being handled. Its really nothing more than regexp handling so be prepared for some hairy script generation. Oh yeah, unless you are examining content, then proxies like mine can be configured to bypass any filtering scheme you create based on URLs. I will be doing URL obfuscation/hashing by next year which will be designed to defeat any filter based on URL.

When the press released that the USA FBI Carnivore system and UK RIP bill allowed for easily reading their email, they called me to ask for help configuring PGP and GPG. I laughed. ( J.L.Francois )
