I wrote an article once that might apply to your situation: http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/...lackware:proxy .
The filtering software used there is Dansguardian. You implement the content filter/proxy on a Linux server and it will block unwanted URLs for any client, which can be Linux, Windows or other OSes.
I installed it (originally based on AlienBob's article) a few times.
You can configure groups in it, like "Children", "Young Adults", "Adults" or other levels of access, each with its own filter.
You can do a mixture of blacklists (all that is forbidden), whitelists (all that is allowed), and it can "read the page" before passing it, checking for unwanted / prohibited phrases.
It is especially popular in school networks etc.
