Any suggestions for a small classroom proxy

Hi all,

This is a request for any suggestions or recommendations on a proxy for the following:

There is a small classroom with five machines with static IP's (members of a domain)
We've already set up a physical link to a firewalled router so internet access to the whole room can be switched on/off by plugging/unplugging a cable in the staff room.

What they'd like is to be able to control access on individual systems so they can switch off one kids internet access with a minimum of fuss.

Wondered if anyone knew of a proxy package (preferably freeware!) that could run on a Windows box and allow access from an individual system to be switched on/off at staff discretion.

Many thanks for any help,

Nick

Take a look at SQUID Proxy, it is a freeware package.
