Proxy Server..

[Christopher Wagner]

I have Squid installed already, haven't played with it yet.  I'll check it
out. :)

As for the privacy concerns, I agree.  I look at it like a privacy violation
in many ways, but I also can understand to some degree that employees, if
requested not to, shouldn't be doing private things on their work computer
anyway.  But it still seems rather big brotherish..  Se la vie..

I would suggest Squid (www.squid-cache.org) with some form of logfile
analysis (which they talk about on their site).  I would also suggest
that anyone using the web be notified well in advance that this change
will be taking place and that you give them a place to forward their
legimate privacy concerns (ie your bosses email address).
