Yes, it is possible to cascade squid proxies (These are called neighboring caches in squid's documentation). You will have to read up the squid documentation, as this is a fairly involved process. > 2. At present we are blockeing the banned sites by site filtering.

Think of all the companies that tried to market such a product, and ended up doing, among other things, blocking health information websites, blocking their own websites, blocking government web sites etc. At IITB, they tried to block *sex* in the URL, and ended up blocking the University of Essex's website. Set up proxy authentication, and inform your users that misuse will invite disciplinary action. Then monitor the logs, and build a case against them. Suspend Internet access for first time defaulters for say, 15 days. > 3. How to monitor the internet sites visied through our proxy server? Is > there any graphical utility? Well, squid's access logfile is the authoritative source. I believe webalizer can parse this logfile and give you graphical output.
