To control what users were able to go where...  It would be great for
making sure you knew where your kids were surfing, if you have a DSL or
Cable modem.

Apache can also be used as a proxy and with a few modules and some
tweaking, you could do what you want, but I am not sure if there is a
config like that already. 

There is also Active Guardian, which is a filtering proxy (and is
OpenSource)...

Bluetail aslo has one called Web Prioritizer that might do it, but it
isn't OpenSource

httpf is a "security proxy", but it strips a lot of content as well
(like JS).

oops is another one that is "squid like"

I personally use squid and apache, but some of these others might have
some features you really want.
