Greetings
One solution mentioned for use with office networks:
Maintain a list of where each user browses to. Make it publicly visible -
while the dodgy pages would still be accessible, users are responsible for
their actions (and any fallout that results).
[In other words, grab a dump of the cache logs and put it online,
basically]
Basically a form of responsive social censorship. [And it may teach more
than a technical solution, but that's just my opinion]
