I've used DansGuardian and can recommend it.
It might go too far or not far enough for you though.
Depends on the age of your users and the policy you're trying to enforce.

I recommend AGAINST 'transparent' proxying.  It rarely is truly transparent and can much things up.

Use the proxy setting abilities of DHCP instead.
