Your best bet is to get yourself DansGuardian. This will do the job for you.

I was using DansGuardian with squid at a primary school. It works really well. You can download updated versions of 'blacklisted' sites.

Dunno. What do you recall the thread's being previously titled?

Yes it did. The previous title contained a word that rhymes with 'corn'.

It's quite simple:
go to /etc/squid.conf and put in there something like

acl users src 10.0.0.0/24
acl undesirable_domains url_regex sexxs.com
http_acces allow users !undesirable_domains
http_access deny users

In this example 10.0.0.0/24 is the subnet in which you need to apply the filtering and sexxs.com is some text which are not allowed inside the URL.

Good luck!
