+1 for a Barracuda. Not free by any stretch, but work very well.

So, what kind of firewall do they have? Can it send access logs to a syslog server, or does it have native reporting, perhaps available as an addon? If that's not feasible for some reason, you can check out various proxies, commercial or otherwise. We used a Barracuda for a while, and put it in line with the firewall as a transparent proxy. It's also possible to set it up out of line, and configure the browsers to talk to it, while allowing only the proxy to pass through the firewall. Before that, I used a FreeBSD box with a squid proxy on it, and used the logs from squid for any investigations. It's been a long time since we did that, but I'm sure there some decent reporting packages out there.
