If you're not adversed to running a Linux box, or you already have IPcop
running, you can't do better than a peek at http://www.dansguardian.org.
It's the best I've ever found.  Comprehensive blacklists and whitelists,
regexp url matching, and probably other features since I last looked at it.
It's all nice and simple to setup, especially with IPcop.  Just don't
forget
to RTFM ;-)

Cheers,
Andy
