[ale] Proxy server / blocking router?

[Robert L. Harris]

I put up a linux firewall between my network and my router.  The
firewall blocks ALL outgoing http/https traffic except from my desktop
and my squid proxy server.  

The proxy box is a P3-450 to give you an idea of what is needed.  The squid 
server is also running squidguard with the chastity list.  Squidguard
redirects blocked traffic to a local file which tells them I've found
them going where I don't want them to and then logs the attempt.

Squid and squidguard are VERY easy to set up.  I'd be willing to share
my config with you if you wish.

And something that can be done transparently, so I wouldn't need to modify the PCs to provide blocking. I'd like to yank out my Linksys, and put in something that does DHCP, routing, firewall and transparent proxy server work.
