A couple of links that I came across that prompted the question this morning.

Basically the management at the particular client in question has asked if I 
can pull usage reports for a handful of users and wanted to get a rough idea 
how much personal browsing is taking place on company machines.  I'm certainly 
not trying to stick my neck out into a potentially bad situation, merely trying 
to provide an intelligent response to someone else's inquiry.  The second bit I 
was looking to see is a breakdown of where the traffic is coming from, such as 
HTTP, P2P, etc, and what IP ranges are the primary culprits as they have 
several VLANS.  Cheers.

You should probably be a little more specific about precisely what sort of 
"acceptable use policies and procedures" you are trying to enforce.

I'd also caution against looking for a technical solution to a social or HR 
percieved 'problem'. It nearly always seems to end in tears, recriminations, 
and other unpleasantness :-)

Kind regards,

Chris
