Hi,

Obviously building a small firewall/proxy with a free linux distrib is the cheapest way to achieve this. This computer can even be built on a virtual machine, so it does not require buying some additional hardware (apart from network cards for proxy's interfaces).

The time you're going to spend on it on the long run, if you do it the way your boss would like you to, will be much more expensive, and much less effective, than having a centralised solution where you can set rules and log traffic. Having to log on each and every computer to setup a solution is never a good idea ; and much of the settings are of a per-user basis, that means you have to log on the computer with the credentials of the user itself (thus you have to ask him its password). Last, what you can setup using GPO's can be easyly defeated by using a different browser.

The key idea is iptables and a proxy solution (I'm using squid for the latter).

- iptables will allow you to do a transparent routing from port 80 to the port of the proxy service ; that means you won't have to configure browsers to use a proxy server.

- squid will allow you to setup a bunch of rules and access lists based on computer's IP address and/or username. You can also use predefined categorized site-lists that allow you to block much of unwanted traffic.

Finally, be careful with legal questions ; in my country, it is not legal to log traffic without informing people you do.

Hope this helps.
