As several folks on this list know, I work for Untangle, which is a free &
open source security gateway licensed under the GPLv2.  Many schools use
it to monitor and/or enforce the acceptable Internet use policies and of
course free budget friendly. :) For example schools often block categories
like porn & gambling, specific sites or for limiting instant messaging,
p2p usage, World of Warcraft, etc.  Here is a case study of how another
California Catholic school uses Untangle:

Untangle can be installed at the gateway as your firewall or as a
transparent bridge behind the firewall.

Here are several more links about Untangle that you may find useful....

Subject: [Balug-Talk] ip masquerading and system logs

I'm in an environment where I'm being asked to track where students are 
going on the Internet. The workstations in question are using dynamic 
addressing and IP masquerading. Is it a matter of adjusting the log level 
for syslogd or do I need to go to something like Squid and Dansguardian? 
Or something else?

Yes, I know about privacy implications here too and I'm raising that issue

at the same time but there are some compelling circumstances for 
protecting children...

Thanks in advance.
