Dunno if you are already happy with this subject, but I've used DansGuardian for a number of prominent school districts in California with very good success. It's cheap, highly reliable, and a single, reasonably well-equiped P4 can *easily* run as a proxy for hundreds or thousands of students! (CentOS 4, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB HDD, random P4 or Athlon processor)
I've always bought the CHEAPEST computer possible at the local "big-box retailer" and never noticed a load average high enough to even measure consistently. EG: over 0.50...
DG rox!
At first, I had to tweak the filter rules for a few weeks until I had something I was happy with, but recently the defaults have become good enough that I wouldn't bother - just roll it out.
Good luck!

I have a location using a CentOS 5 server that's multihomed running Asterisk and iptables for internal web access.
Recently some sales people got busted surfing some explicit content so the owner wants something in there to block this.
I had heard of Dans Guardian and am reading about what's involved here but just wanted an opinion on what's the best solution for this. NTLM silent auth would be an asset, but the lan is simple and the owner doesn't need granular control if it would be complicated.
What are you guys using with good results?/ Thanks? jlc _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
