Are you after something for an Ubuntu server or a hardware device? I've been using QuintoLabs Proxy server which is basically a Content proxy (ICAP) running Squid. You can download their VM Appliance or build it yourself - give the appliance a go as it's an Ubuntu VM anyway and it's free. <a href="http://www.quintolabs.com/" target="_blank">http://www.quintolabs.com/</a> You could build a server with this as well and place it in transparent or in-line mode with your current firewall once you are happy it meets your requirements. Good luck!
